Ms. Justice Leonie Reynolds handed down a decision yesterday in
the case of Reilly -v- Iconic Newspapers Ltd which is very
helpful for media organisations reporting on public hearings. S17
of the Defamation Act 2009 affords absolute privilege to 'fair
and accurate' court reports. While the written judgment is
awaited, following four days in the High Court, it was decided that
there was no requirement for the plaintiff to investigate further
into what had been said at the hearing before publishing the court
report once the report is a fair and accurate report.
The content of this article is intended to provide a general
guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought
