Cases

O'Shea v MGN Limited

Facts

The claimant sued the owner of a pornographic website and the publisher of a newspaper for libel, over advertisements for the site. She alleged that a model who appeared in the advertisements closely resembled her and that, as a result, family and friends had been led to believe she was involved in the pornography business. The defendants applied to strike out the claim on the basis that the case on reference was unsustainable on the facts, and that a claim advanced on this basis was incompatible with Article 10 ECHR.
