Tancic v Times Newspapers Ltd: CA 12 Jan 2000

The pleadings in defamation proceedings should be limited so as to restrict the parties to the essential issues. The defendant should not be prevented from presenting his defence properly, and a successful claimant should not have been prevented from obtaining a proper vindication of his reputation. Finding this balance was a matter for the discretion of the judge.
