“The entrance hall of the new Supreme Court is adorned with lofty declarations of the integrity of British justice. ‘To no one will we deny or delay right or justice’ reads the legend engraved on one floor-to-ceiling glass panel of the building in Parliament Square, in Central London. But just a mile or two south, where the Inner London Crown Court stands hard by the grind and grime of Elephant and Castle, such fine sentiments seem ill-fitting.”

“An article which attracted qualified privilege when printed in a newspaper could lose that privilege if its electronic form was kept on the paper’s website after circumstances had changed but the article was not modified to reflect that change in facts. Thus while an article in The Times published on June 2, 2006 was privileged, publication on its website after September 5, 2007 was not.”
