Economou v de Freitas [2016] EWHC 1853 (QB), [2016] All ER (D) 45 (Aug)

Only two of seven articles complained of were actionable and they were defeated by the public interest defence, as the defendant had been entitled to place some reliance on the publisher to undertake appropriate checks and provide appropriate balance.
