Erin Leigh succeeds in defamation appeal

By Steven | January 23, 2011

The Court of Appeal’s decision is pretty much exactly what I predicted here. The briefing paper and the oral briefing about PR staffer Erin Leigh’s departure from the Minstry of the Environment are – contrary to Dobson J’s ruling last year – capable of defaming her. But her negligence claim is a loser.

The real interest in this case lies in the qualified privilege defence, I think, but that battle is yet to come.
