Warby J in Sloutsker v Romanova
[2015] EWHC 545 (QB)
Key Principle
On a challenge to jurisdiction in an internet libel claim, the claimant need only show a good arguable case and a real and substantial tort within the jurisdiction; an established or international reputation with substantial connections in England can found jurisdiction even for a foreign-based claimant and defendant.
