The article, by pairing an outdated 2016 photograph with a contemporaneous 2020 headline and presenting allegations as fact without prior verification or seeking comment, conveyed a defamatory meaning; the respondent's failure to verify and the accusatory tone defeated any qualified privilege or Reynolds defence and amounted to recklessness/malice; procedural pleading defects caused no prejudice and did not bar relief, entitling the appellant to damages.
