- High Court
The draft ASOC5 was substantially compliant with procedural and defamation pleading requirements; the stay did not operate as an irrevocable unless order and should be lifted on conditions. The Court ordered the stay lifted provided the plaintiff files a corrected ASOC5 by 23 January 2017 splitting the second cause to separate the 28 June 2011 post, removing pleaded non‑party republications, and particularising claimed loss; most alleged non‑party republications pleaded were time‑barred.
