The court held that the 1st Defendant's oral statements at a press conference were written down by a reporter and published in the newspaper, thereby constituting libel; the statement of claim was not defective because the defamatory words were pleaded verbatim in paragraphs 5 and 6; accordingly the appeal failed and was dismissed.
