The Subject Letter, read in its full context by the hypothetical reasonable reader (the building owners), did not bear the defamatory meanings alleged; alternatively, even if such meanings were available, the publication was protected by qualified privilege because it was a bona fide reply to attacks on the management committee and was not published with malice. Accordingly the plaintiffs' libel claim is dismissed.
