Plaintiff failed to prove publication by the 1st defendant. Metadata showing 'Leaderonomics' as Author/Last Modified By is inherently unreliable and cannot identify the human actor; plaintiff abandoned the authorship limb and did not plead or prove an authorised employee acted for the company; the presumption under s114A(3) was rebutted because the late 2nd defendant had custody/control of the relevant laptop. Accordingly there was no proven publication by the 1st defendant and the claim is dismissed.
