The Court held the Words were capable of meaning that the plaintiff, a medical doctor, was raised under a substandard education and was a substandard professional; however those remarks were made in the course of District Council business advising the Government and s.86 applied because the defendant was performing his functions and, on the facts, acted bona fide despite a spur-of-the-moment gratuitous remark, therefore s.86 immunity barred the defamation claim and the action was dismissed.
