Radu v Houston & Another (No.4)

Facts

The Claimant was the husband of the Crown Princess of Romania. The Defendants were the editor and publisher of Royalty Monthly magazine. The magazine published an article which Eady J had previously held to mean (1) that there was a "very strong case" that the Claimant was never granted the title which he used, and that the document said to evidence the grant was a forgery, and (2) that he was guilty of having been an officer in Ceaucescu's secret police.

The Claimant sought to strike out the pleaded defence of justification on the ground that many of the particulars were impermissible, and that others lacked particularity.
