Description

This book examines how defamation law operates in practice by investigating the psychology behind judicial and jury decision-making. The common law test for defamatory material relies on how 'ordinary reasonable people' would perceive a publication, yet the book questions who these people actually are and what they truly think. Drawing on extensive case law analysis and empirical research involving over 4,000 members of the general public, interviews with judges and legal practitioners, and focus groups representing various community sections, the author provides insight into the gap between legal theory and real-world application. Essential reading for legal professionals, academics, and anyone interested in understanding how defamation standards are actually interpreted and applied within the British legal system.
