Fallon v MGN Ltd (No.2)

Held

(1) The article was incapable of bearing a less defamatory meaning than reasonable grounds to suspect (2) The more serious the allegation, the stronger the evidence must be before the court concludes that the allegation is established (3) This principle applies to Level 2 particulars - nudges and winks will not suffice (4) D's particulars did not build a bridge between MR's betting and C's race-riding conduct, and so they were not capable of supporting a case that there were reasonable grounds to suspect C of conspiring with MR to fix races
