Mark v Associated Newspapers Limited
Facts
The Blairs' former nanny sued the Daily Mail in libel over an article which alleged that she had "misrepresented her position" when she denied that she had authorised the publication of material from a book she had written about her time with the Blairs. The judge struck the claim out, holding the article was not capable of being defamatory of her, on the basis that the 'antidote' in the article neutralised the defamatory 'bane'.
