《A Libel Landmark 》

Column Name: REVIEW & OUTLOOK (Editorial)

Publication title: The Wall Street Journal Asia. Hong Kong: Oct 13, 2006. pg. 12

"... ...

The Law Lords overturned two lower-court rulings, which found against The Journal, and held that the information in the article was in the public interest and had been reported responsibly. "The fact that the judge, with the advantage of leisure and hindsight, might have made a different editorial decision should not destroy the defence," Lord Hoffmann wrote. "That would make the publication of articles which are, ex hypothesi, in the public interest, too risky and would discourage investigative reporting."

In his opinion, Lord Bingham described The Journal as an "unsensational" newspaper, a charge to which we plead guilty. While the Jameel ruling won't matter much to Britain's tabloid press, it is likely to influence how "quality" newspapers go about investigative reporting. As another Law Lord, Baroness Hale, put it: "We need more such serious journalism in this country and our defamation law should encourage rather than discourage it."

這個court case 幾得意, 記者會的某某應該會大做其文章. 下次public libel 有allegation時, 原訟人可能有難. 拭目以待拭目以待.

但我更有興趣的是:-

"The ruling should echo throughout the British Commonwealth, including in Australia, Canada, Hong Kong and -- dare we hope? -- Singapore. While Commonwealth countries now mostly have their own courts of final appeal, they still look to the Law Lords for guidance in interpreting the common law. Thanks to their Lordships, the world just got a little freer."

AWJ 果然唔怕死, 0岩0岩先同 Jameel打完官司, 0甘快又去撩d坡佬. 但AWJ 唔同安迪. xie, 唔使"瀉"d坡佬 (波妹就唔sure), 話晒佢地太上皇出晒名祟英. 哈哈哈~~~~~~

又, 其實唔要個"and" 都得. 畢竟我地背靠祖國, 國情為上.
