Show Notes

On today's episode of Law & Disorder, Nicholas Mostyn, Charlie Falconer and Helena Kennedy are back and this week they're discussing the thorny issue of libel. Are British courts too quick to allow expensive litigation that clogs up the courts, insufficiently redresses reputational damage or allows the wealthy to bully dissenters? We're exploring this through the prism of one of the most high-profile legal cases of recent years: Rebekah Vardy's libel case against Coleen Rooney, the so-called 'Wagatha Christie' trial.
