- District Court
- Case number
- DCCJ3750/2015
Pleadings did not disclose any reasonable cause of action. Statements in the defendant's letter to the Director of Immigration and statements made in MECAB and Labour Tribunal proceedings are protected by absolute privilege and cannot support a defamation claim; the newspaper claim properly lies against the publisher; malicious prosecution was not pleaded with required particulars. Therefore the statement of claim and further particulars are struck out and the claim dismissed.
