Irish News get retrial on food critic case

The High Court in Belfast today ordered a retrial in a landmark case involving a local restaurant and the Irish News newspaper. The restauranter sued the Irish News for libel after a negative review in the paper.

Dr Eoin O’Deil on his cearta blog has the judgement for those legal eagles amongst you.

The case is being followed across the world by food writers and publishers alike. The retrial is likely to attract considerable international attention.
