Practice Areas
1. The Defendant is a politician. He held a press conference. He invited the media to come to his press conference. He talked about the Plaintiff. P is a well-known politician. A press statement about the press conference was emailed out to various persons in the media. 2 2. A media journalist attended the press conference. She wrote an article about what D said at the press conference. It was published in both print and online forms. 2 3. P sued D and the media for libel, for the allegedly defamatory words and statements in the press statement and the media article. 2 4. Should P succeed in his cause for libel? In other words, does D and the meida have defences to P’s suits for defamation? 2 Defamation- Public Officer 1 Conclusion 209 Based on the extensive consideration of all the evidence, case laws, and submissions of all the learned counsels of the parties, this Court finds that, read as a whole by the ordinary reasonable reader, Impugned Words 1 and 2 do convey the lesser defamatory meaning identified 1 300 However, liability does not follow because the defence of justification is made out as to that lesser sting; fair comment protects the opinions expressed on matters of public interest; and, in relation to the 2nd and 3rd Defendants, reportage applies. Malice is not proven, and the delay raises additional process concerns. 1 301 Accordingly, while Impugned Words 1 and Impugned Words 2 are defamatory in fact (in the lesser sense), the applicable defences succeed. Consequently, the Plaintiff has failed to prove its case on a balance of probabilities against all the Defendants. The Plaintiff’s suit is hereby dismissed. 1
