Should be common knowledge just like the legal doctrine of stare decisis 😀 Why should the number of grains in a scruple be common knowledge? I am sure most people will be familiar with the principle of stare decisis even if they did not know that was the term. Unlike grains and scruples, however, it is still relevant and in use.

As Banks has said prior to the case, this action was about clearing his name. The Guardian's headline is misleadng. Cadwalladr was found to have defamed Banks, so who 'lost' the case..?

The "full story" from just another pundit somewhere to the right of Genghis Khan you mean. Banks "clear his name" indeed. What tosh. Banks tried to crush Cadwalladr financially and failed. That's all I care about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Guido isn't a right wing pundit, doesn't have an agenda and you always research his opinions instead of just posting up his stuff verbatim.... Yeah, right... Got to admire a sense of humour. It had nothing to do with Arron Bank's "clearing his name" but everything to do with stifling investigative journalism by trying to financially destroy a journalist out of pure spite. Any proponent of free speech should admire Cadwalladr. After all, we shouldn't let Private Eye do the honours unsupported you know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cadwalldr has admitted that her allegations were not true. As Quilp says she was found to have defamed Banks. Fortunately for him he has the wherewithal to have challenged her. Others don’t have the means in such circumstances. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unlike you Arron Banks has absolutely no doubts whatsoever that he "lost" the case: See new Tweets Arron Banks @Arron_banks Congratulations to Carole on winning today, it leaves open for the journalist the excuse that she thought what she said was correct even though she had no facts. There are important points of law at stake here & we will likely appeal. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
code99 Posted June 19, 2022 Share Posted June 19, 2022 Carole Cadwalladr: "I won the libel claim brought against me by Arron Banks, the main funder of the Leave.EU campaign...I’m writing this today because the law must change. We cannot and must not allow another journalist to go through this. Not for the sake of their sanity but for the health of our democracy. Because this is not democracy. It’s oligarchy. And Banks v Cadwalladr needs to be the last time these obscene laws are used against a journalist in this way..." https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/commentisfree/2022/jun/19/arron-banks-set-out-to-crush-me-in-court-instead-my-quest-for-the-facts-was-vindicated 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
