In a rare case (in Canada anyway), the Supreme Court in WIC Radio Ltd. v. Simpson has reaffirmed the fair comment defence to libel. For reasons that are frankly beyond me, the Court of Appeal of British Columbia had denied the defence.
Also on the Supreme Court docket, Cusson v. Quan, in which it will be asked to confirm a 'public interest' defence.
