Resumen de United Kingdom: : English High Court sets out circumstances where abusive words are not necessarily defamatory
In a defamation action in the Queen�s Bench Division of the English High Court presided over by Mr Justice Dingemans, it was determined in a judgment given on 9 April 2014 that the broadcaster, Channel 5, and the production company, Endemol UK Limited, were not liable for vile and abusive words used by one contestant against another in the reality television show Big Brother. Although the words were vile and abusive, they were not deemed to be defamatory of the recipient of the verbal attack.
