1. This is the trial of the Plaintiff’s claim against the Defendant for libel. There is no dispute the alleged defamatory statements were all published or caused to be published by the Defendant. Two of them were published on the internet and one in the form of a paper notice posted up outside a closed shop. The question is whether the statements are defamatory of the Plaintiff and, if so, whether the Defendant can establish a defence of justification and/or fair comment.
