Tufano v Vincenti

Facts

In December 2004 D was appointed by Order of the York County Court to prepare an expert report for family proceedings involving C and to provide a copy of the report to the lead solicitors in the case. C attended upon D for an interview and signed a consent form. D's report was sent to the solicitor and passed on to C who objected to its contents. He sent email complaints to the GMC, NHS Complaints Commission and D's clinic before issuing a claim form for libel in November 2005. Despite this D gave his evidence in the York CC proceedings in December 2005 and then applied to strike out the libel claim.
