It's a good week for anyone interested in libel law.
The Joint committee on the Draft Libel Reform bill will publish its report at midnight.
We're also expecting the Supreme Court ruling on the use of the Reynolds defence in the Flood v Times Newspapers case.
I'll be interested to see what the Draft Libel Reform Bill committee has to say on how the law should deal with user-generated content on reader forums.
It will also be useful to see whether it has any proposals to offer on whether organisations should have to demonstrate 'substantial' harm in order to be able to bring a libel case.
Well, I'm excited anyway...
