In the podcast the participants discuss, amongst other things, the legislative competence of the devolved Assembly to reform the law in this area, the wider implications of online communication for Defamation law reform today, the statutory protection and development of the \u2018public interest defence\u2019, and the section 1 requirement of \u2018serious harm\u2019, and what that now means for both parties in Defamation actions.
