StatusBinding authority

Key Principle

A libel claim arising from online and modest hard-copy publication within the jurisdiction will not be struck out as a Jameel abuse of process merely because evidence of actual readership is low, where the continuing online availability gives rise to a possible inference of continuing, more than minimal, damage to reputation.
