Description
The claim was brought by barristers against a former client who had set up two websites on which two articles were published making criticisms of their conduct of his case and alleging that they were corrupt. The barristers were entitled to summary judgment in a libel claim where false allegations of dishonesty and corruption were clearly defamatory and would injure the barristers' reputations. The claims in respect of harassment, breach of the Data Protection Act and statements on third-party websites were not determined.
