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 High Court granted relief from sanctions to Porkbun LLC, held it was not a publisher of the disputed website content, set aside service out, and dismissed the claimants’ applications.
The claimant failed to demonstrate a real prospect of proving that any of the Twenty Reviews caused or were likely to cause serious financial loss as required by s.1(2) Defamation Act 2013. The evidence did not support causation between the reviews and any actual or likely financial loss, and the claimant's case was speculative and unsupported by contemporaneous documentation or specific evidence. Summary judgment was therefore granted to the defendant.
