McManus v Beckham

Held

The plea would be reinstated to go to the jury at trial, who would be directed to consider the questions of whether the defendant knew that what she had allegedly said was likely to be reported and that if she slandered someone that slander was likely to be repeated or a reasonable person in the position of the defendant should have appreciated that there was a signficant risk that what she had allegedly said would be repeated.
