Seems to be similar in the UK as of Defamation Act 2013? TIL "libel tourism" was a motivator for it, precisely because English libel law was too far-reaching. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libel_tourism > On January 1st, 2014 the Defamation Act 2013 came into force, requiring plaintiffs who bring actions in the courts of England and Wales alleging libel by defendants who do not live in Europe to demonstrate that the court is the most appropriate place to bring the action. Serious harm to an individual's reputation or serious financial harm to a corporation must also be proven. Good faith belief that a disclosure was in the public interest was made a defense. |
