Cases

Desmond v Bower (CA)

Facts

D was refused permission by the trial judge to issue a witness summons for one JO to produce documents and give evidence at trial. The evidence was to be relied on as similar fact and related to an un-pleaded incident post-dating the event the subject of the words. The Judge had previously ruled that the words contained a specific charge, applying Bookbinder v Tebbit [1989] 1 WLR 640, and had struck out particulars justifying other incidents: [2008] EWHC 2952 (QB).
