Jarvis Plc and Others v Pricewaterhousecoopers: ChD 13 Jul 2000

A company’s auditors resigned, and issued a notice detailing circumstances which they thought should be brought to the attention of the shareholders. The claimants issued proceedings, claiming the notice merely sought to bring attention to defamatory matter. They discontinued, and the defendants applied for an order that the contents of the notice be distributed to the persons interested. The order was made. There was no need for a declaration that the purpose of the original notice had not been to seek publicity as alleged.
