(Supreme Court of New South Wales – Court of Appeal) There was a salacious article about a teacher. By reason of the inclusion of incorrect information, the article wrongly pointed to the plaintiff as the teacher in question. The principle upheld by the Court of Appeal was that the cause of action may be sustained if identification occurs later than the time of original publication, particularly if the recipient of the information is in effect invited to discover the identity of the person about whom the matter complained of is published.
