Jane who was a journalist in The Daily Bleat wrote an article which she claimed it was about the ugly truth behind the glamorous fashion world; the industry has involved in the activities of drugs taking and sexual exploitation. In relation to the article, she also mentioned Barry, the Mayor of London and the leading fashion businesses in Italy. Thus, Barry and Giovanni, the head of Moda Milano, a leading fashion house based in Italy intended to file a defamation suit against The Daily Bleat.

In order to succeed in their lawsuit, Barry and Giovanni needed to establish that the statement in the article was defamatory. According to Parmiter v Coupland , a defamatory statement is a publication that may damage the reputation of another by exposing them to hatred, contempt or ridicule . By claiming that there were criminal offences conducted by the fashion houses such as drugs taking and sexual exploitation can be regarded as a statement of capable being defamatory as it could reveal them to hatred and hence injuring their reputation. In 2006, House of Lord concluded in the case of Jameel v Wall Street Journal that it was unnecessary for a corporation to show how they were suffering from a financial …show more content…

The first possible defence for The Daily Bleat is truth under Section 2 of Defamation Act 2013. The Daily Bleat has to show that the article complained of was substantially true . It was indeed a truth because Jane wrote the article based on a report of European Committee for the Protection of Young People. However, based on the inside information that they got from the working people in the industry, only the offence of drug taking had been mentioned instead of sexual exploitation too. If it happened to be true, they still can apply the defence under the 2013 Act with regards to the imputation that was not substantially true had not caused a serious harm to the Moda Milano’s

    To support this argument, he implied that the fact that Flynt republished the ad multiple times proved the intent of Flynt. In contrast with Isaacman who referred to New York Times Co. v. Sullivan to support his argument, Grutman suggested that the ruling was irrelevant with Hustler Magazine, Inc. v. Falwell. Although Falwell could win under the ruling when the issue considered was libel involving factual statements, emotional harm based on intent was the main issue considered by Falwell. To withhold the tort of emotional distress that was ruled as invalid in a recent decision, Grutman defended it by saying that the decision was made by an inferior court, he did not view it as a good law, and there were other cases which supported the tort.

  • Rhetorical Analysis Of Students Fight Assault On History By Leonard Pitts

    1141 Words  | 5 Pages

    For example, Pitts refers to the school board’s decision as an act of “intellectual vandalism.” Obviously, the word “vandalism” has an extremely negative connotation, and Pitts’ decision to describe the ruling this way causes the audience to view it as a true crime against students. Undoubtedly, much of Pitts’ audience is composed of parents, so the use of the word “vandalism” also garners many feelings of anger, as the majority of parents would be truly outraged if an act of vandalism such as this were committed against their own child. Even the title of the article describes the ruling as an “assault” on all students’ basic right to learn their nation’s history. Additionally, Pitts calls the ruling “stagnant, barren and antithetical to progress.”

    In this case, McCann, the plaintiff, argued the defamatory words written in the article affected him as the representative of the City of Pembroke. However, the general rule states comments attacking substantially larger groups cannot sue for defamation unless the publication singles a particular member of the group. Since the article does not state any specific identifiers nor includes an innuendo about the mayor, his allegation failed to complete the second part of the test. As the court stated, “an action for defamation is uniquely personal, and is based on injury to one’s personal reputation.” Therefore, his claim for defamatory words towards his persona is unverifiable and not actionable.
