Cases

Purnell v F1 Business Magazine Ltd & Another

Held

Refusing the appeal:

Whilst a prior reasoned judgment striking out a justification defence was capable of providing some vindication of the C's reputation and had to be taken account of in order to comply with Article 10, its effect would generally be marginal. On the instant facts, the C's need for vindication could only be satisfied if given effect by the jury's award of damages.
