TORT
Permission to Appeal refusedCase summary:Did the Court of Appeal (“CA”) err in allowing the appeal and entering summary judgment for the defendant to a libel action?

(2) Did the CA err in excluding contextual matters pursuant to s.15(3)? (3) Did the CA err in determining that a live broadcast is capable of amounting to a ‘report’ for the purposes of s.15(1)?
