Libel Tourism Era Over In UK?
From the Guardian: British attorneys are saying the golden era of “libel tourism” is over, after a British judge dismissed a libel action brought by a Russian ex-police officer against a UK businessman, holding that the former cop had no “prior reputation in England and Wales to defend.” Similarly, another British judge dismissed another libel action brought by a Serbian in a British court against a Montenegrin, ruling that the Serbian, Stanko Subotic, had no reputation in the UK to defend.
