This book undertakes a comparative study of the public interest and
political speech defences in defamation law, particularly from the
perspective of the misuse of democratic free expression
justifications. Specifically, it argues that the law and legal
approaches taken by leading courts and legislatures in the UK,
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and the United States - five common
law comparators - are undertheorised, lack adequate criteria for
determining the correct form of the defence, and would benefit from
a more precise understanding of 'democracy', 'accountability', and
'representation'. The book will be of great interest to scholars of
free speech, defamation and public law.
