Cases

Levi v Bates

Held

(1) The claim to privilege succeeded in relation to the letter but not the programme notes, given the width of publication.

(2) On the facts the allegations were not justified.

(3) The allegations were largely in the nature of comment, but there was not a sufficient substratum of fact for the comment to be defensible.

(4) C was awarded £50,000 in total.
