A general incorporation of earlier paragraphs is insufficient under r 5.26; the plaintiff must file a more explicit pleading identifying which statements the second defendant is alleged to have made and the specific basis (authorisation/intention/actual awareness/reasonable person) and particulars relied upon to establish the second defendant's responsibility for statements published in the New Zealand Listener; costs awarded to the second defendant on a category 2A basis.
