Cases

Maccaba v Lichtenstein (No 2 - mode of trial)

Facts

The Claimant applied to vary the mode of trial in his claim for slander, breach of confidence and harassment against the Defendant from judge and jury to judge alone. The Claimant submitted that the case would involve detailed investigation of covertly recorded conversations in Hebrew and English and that the transcripts by their length, nature and difficulty of comprehension would better be dealt with by a judge sitting alone.
