On the interlocutory record the court found there is a good cause of action in defamation and it is reasonable to infer significant publication in Hong Kong from the nature of the material and the defendant's failure to disclose publication metrics; therefore the action should not be struck out as an abuse and disclosure of the extent and nature of publication is justified; merits defences are irrelevant at this stage.
