The Court of Appeal allowed the defendants' appeal, finding the email was not defamatory in the sense pleaded or was true in substance (the plaintiff had a documented tendency to proceed without serving insurers) and, alternatively, the communication was protected by qualified privilege (duty-interest reciprocity and absence of malice); High Court judgment was set aside and plaintiff's claim dismissed.
