Who might Mr Justice Nicklin be wishing to lightly grill, then? So Mr Justice Nicklin, or someone on his behalf, should be grilling the Mail.
After Zelo Street how the judgment handed down yesterday as part of a continuing defamation action brought by Countdown numbers person Rachel Riley against Labour Party staffer Laura Murray came to be featured in a Mail Online article more than 24 hours before its official time of release, Mike Sivier of Vox Political fame - as well as bad news for whoever leaked the information.
He may not be involved, and I have no doubt that, were I to make the accusation and it to prove wrong, he would be going after me with every legal instrument at his disposal..
So I do not thus accuse.
So how did the information get out there before it was handed down? Looks like someone bust a pretty comprehensively.
What about her lawyer, Mark Lewis? There are strict rules on what can, and more importantly, cannot be done with those draft copies.
Description: As Sivier has pointed out, the judgment was a reserved one, and Mr Justice Nicklin would have had it ready beforehand final submissions to him had been made on April 7.
