Honest Comment
Honest Comment
Public Interest
Relates to a comment as to the claimant or their conduct
Comment is only acceptable if:
It is in the public's interest
It relates to a matter submitted for public review and comment
(Spiller v Joseph)
Determined on what the judge feels the public has an interest in knowing
(London Artists v Littler)
True Facts
Must be an opinion
There must be sufficient indication of the facts
(Kemsley v Foot)
Must be formed on true facts, but the statement does not have to be true, just objectively honestly held
(Reynolds v Times Newspapers)
Comment must indicate the facts on which it is based, explicitly or implicitly
(Spiller v Joseph)
Decision for the judge to determine whether it is a comment
Decision for the jury to determine whether it is in fact comment
Defendant aided by Defamation Act 1952, Section 6
Honestly Held
An objective test
"Would any fair man, however prejudiced he may be or however exaggerated or obstinate his view, have said that..."
(Merrivale v Carson)
Jury must decide whether the defendant genuinely held that view and was not motivated by malice
Spite and animosity would merely be evidence to support such an assertion
(Cheng v Tse Wai)
Evidence of malice will defeat the defence
(Thomas v Bradbury Agnew & Co. Ltd.)
Malice refers to a lack of genuine belief in the statement
Where the comment is honestly held then the court will not find malice
(Bransen v Bower (No. 2))
"The true test is whether the opinion, however exaggerated, obstinate or prejudiced, was honestly held by the person expressing it"
(Reynolds v Times Newspapers)
