The court found the Subject Paragraph, read in context, referred to the owners of Houses A, C and D including the plaintiffs and was defamatory by imputing deliberate vandalism (criminal damage), but held the defendants' Letter was published on a privileged occasion (response to a Joint Circulation Letter concerning management) and the plaintiffs failed to prove malice; qualified privilege therefore protected the defendants and the claim was dismissed.
