Neither side was entitled to rely on qualified privilege or fair comment because plaintiffs exceeded their mandate and published to a non‑member and defendants acted with express malice; many allegations about mismanagement and failure to produce annual accounts were substantially justified but specific imputations of personal financial dishonesty against the first defendant were not justified; plaintiffs succeeded on multiple libels and defendants succeeded on one libel; damages awarded accordingly.
