Under the current regime of the Access to Justice Act 1999 a publisher can be liable for costs arising from a defamation case even where those costs include premiums associated with conditional fee agreements and after the event insurance.

In this episode we also consider proposals to change the law and also press regulation. Music from bensound.com
