Whereas I wholeheartedly agree that the Guardian deserves credit score for defending the Noel Clarke libel case, Katharine Viner misses a significant part in her conclusion (The Noel Clarke judgment is a victory for the courageous ladies who informed us their tales – and for journalism, 22 August).Sure it was a “good day for the Guardian, for media within the public curiosity, and for girls” – nevertheless it was additionally an excellent day for the judiciary. With out confidence within the integrity of our courtroom system, the dangers of pursuing the case to a conclusion could properly have been stacked in opposition to you. Mrs Justice Steyn gave a convincing condemnation of Clarke’s behaviour and upheld the accuracy of the tales printed. Properly completed her, the Guardian and the ladies who bravely informed their tales.
