Cases

Berezovsky & Another v Forbes Inc & Another (No.2)

Facts

Libel action brought by the claimants over allegations suggesting involvement in serious crimes. Defendants did not justify guilt, but instead pleaded justification of the lower meaning of "reasonable grounds to suspect". In addition, the Defendants relied on Reynolds qualified privilege. Eady J held that the article was incapable of bearing the lower meaning of "reasonable grounds to suspect" and the Defendants appealed to the Court of Appeal.
