2. Defamation Act 2013

In this episode we discuss the defamation of Christopher Jefferies and the subsequent contempt of court charges against two tabloid newspapers - The Sun and The Daily Mirror - over the monstering of Jefferies after he was arrested on suspicion of murdering his tenant Joanna Yeates in 2010. Lawyers acting on behalf of Jefferies launched libel and privacy proceedings against newspapers: The Sun, Daily Mirror and Sunday Mirror, Daily Mail, Daily Star, Daily Express, Scotsman, and Daily Record over their coverage of his arrest. Let’s examine whether these risked serious harm to his reputation and personal injury.
