An interlocutory injunction was appropriate only where the alleged meaning was clearly defamatory and the defendants had not properly pleaded or sworn a defence of justification or fair comment; on the evidence Articles A and Part II of B were clearly libellous and lacked pleaded justification so an injunction was granted for those parts, whereas for B Part I, C, D, E and F the defendants raised or indicated viable defences of justification/fair comment or facts they might justify, so injunctions were refused as not the clearest cases.
