Johnson v Helm [2025] EWHC 1546 (KB) (20 June 2025)
The High Court decided a preliminary issue in a libel claim over an online review, classifying some statements as fact and others as opinion in context.
Remedies for harassment and libel are awarded to C1, C2, and C3 only, as their claims meet legal thresholds and territorial scope. C4's claims are excluded for lack of jurisdiction and legal impossibility. Damages are assessed separately for harassment, libel, personal injury, and special damages, with aggravated damages included in global awards. Injunction and s.12 order for summary publication are granted to protect claimants' interests and vindicate reputations. Costs awarded on indemnity basis due to D1's aggravating conduct.

Wei & Ors v Long & Ors [2025] EWHC 158 (KB) (31 January 2025)
The High Court set aside service out on D4, held Porkbun LLC was not a publisher or website operator, granted relief from sanctions, and dismissed the Claimants’ s.13 and Part 18 applications.
The Defendant's draft Amended Defence does not comply with the required pleading standards for substantial truth in libel and harassment claims. It lacks sufficient particularisation, fails to allege primary facts with specificity, and does not provide the Claimant with adequate knowledge of the case he must meet. The deficiencies previously identified by the court remain unremedied. Permission to amend the Defence in the terms of the June 2023 Draft is refused.
