US Tobacco v BBC

Held

Dismissing the appeal (1) The two stings were not wholly separate and distinct, but were inter-related. (2) However, public policy required that the trial of libel actions should be kept strictly to the issues necessary for fair resolution of the dispute. In the light of the admissions made by the Claimant, it was not necessary to investigate the health allegations in order to have a fair trial of the action.
