Miller v Turner
Miller and Power v Turner [2023] EWHC 2799 (KB)
Key Principle
A libel claim fails at the threshold where the claimant cannot show, on the facts of the specific imputations in the specific publications complained of, that publication caused or was likely to cause serious harm to reputation under s.1 Defamation Act 2013, and unpleasant online 'trolling', though aggressive and bullying, does not amount to harassment unless it crosses the threshold of gravity for quasi-criminal conduct.
