Examples or Scenarios

Journalism – Defamation claim

Our Insured, a journalist, exposed a charity’s unethical financial practices. In response, the charity released various articles attacking our Insured’s credibility. Fortunately, the Insured had sought legal advice prior to publishing their article which concluded their exposé could not be deemed as defamatory. The Insured’s Beazley policy stepped in to support the Insured’s defence and the matter was ultimately dropped.
