1. I have read the judgment in draft of Mr Justice Litton PJ and also that of Sir Anthony Mason NPJ which set out his reasons with respect to the defence of fair comment. The issue of fair comment in this appeal was a difficult one. For the reasons which they give, I agree that the trial judge's decision that the defence of fair comment was made out should be restored. I agree also with the judgment of Mr Justice Litton on the other issues and the orders he proposes.
