First Statements were not defamatory when read in full context; Second Statements carried limited defamatory imputations (maligning IO members, targeting chairman/secretary, aiming to disrupt building operations and harming owners) but defendant established defences of justification, fair comment and qualified privilege and plaintiff failed to prove malice; accordingly claim dismissed and costs awarded to defendant.
