For a bit of context the English (not UK as each country has different legal systems) libel laws were changed some years ago under the coalition government to make libel harder to prove so that the burden is on the claimant instead of the defendant in the case. This was intended to protect individuals and journalists from huge companies like in the McLibel case, but also lets the gutter press have an easier time. You win some you lose some I suppose.
Thanks for this! It adds a more understanding on the decision on The Sun case.
