Cases

Cook & Carlton Communications plc v News Group Newspapers Ltd

Facts

Eady J ruled, upon the Claimant's application, that the defamatory meaning of the articles complained of was limited to allegations of faking in relation to the Cook Report television programme and that the case should be limited to this issue on case management grounds. Eady J accordingly struck out that part of the defendant's Lucas-Box meaning and particulars of justification which referred to a different programme broadcast by the claimants called The Connection, substantial parts of which, notoriously, had been found to be faked. The defendant appealed.
