The claimant request directions that the defamation action should be without a jury.
Held: ‘This will not be a trial which requires a prolonged examination of documents. I accept that there will be more than one viewing of the material, but I also accept the submission of Mr Thwaites that the material must be viewed bearing in mind that it was broadcast to audiences who would not be viewing it more than once, and would not be following it with a transcript.’ Trial was to be by jury.
