On the balance of probabilities the post and videos referred to the plaintiffs and were published to third parties and, read in their ordinary meaning and context, were defamatory; defendant failed to prove justification because the alleged admissions by the second plaintiff were obtained under pressure and were not voluntary; the defence of fair comment also failed because the matter was essentially a private domestic dispute not a matter of public interest; malice was established and accordingly plaintiffs' claim is allowed and the defendant's counterclaim dismissed.
