Noorani v Calver (No 1)

Held

Although the words were not mere vulgar abuse and were actionable per se, their publication, even if proved, in context, and in light of the lack of any evidence of reputation damage from the alleged publishees, would not amount to a real and substantial tort. The slander claim was therefore struck out, although C was permitted to rely on the facts alleged as a particular of malice.
