The Court of Appeal dismissed the appeal because the trial judge was entitled to find on the whole evidence that dishonesty was not proved to the heightened standard required for the serious allegation of wilful gross misconduct, and that the defendant's publication of the expulsion notices in three newspapers was excessive and disproportionate so as to vitiate qualified privilege; accordingly the Expulsion Resolution remained invalid and the libel findings and award were upheld.
