In a previous post, I was a little unkind about defendants in libel actions wimping out before trail. I’m pleased to say that there was no wimping out on the part of those defendants, and with the assistance of some dedicated pro bono blogger-lawyers, today this case was struck out.
I will never do the tale justice, so I suggest you head over to the Jack of Kent’s blog for a summary of the case. I’m sure the last instalment will be posted tomorrow as their tide of celebration recedes.
Also, it seems the Jack of Kent is just five followers away from the 6,000 he aspires to – if you are not yet a groupie, go to http://twitter.com/jackofkent and follow him!
