Shakil-Ur-Rahman v. ARY Network Limited & Fayaz Ghafoor
Newsletter Text:
The U.K. High Court ruled in favor of Mir Shakil-Ur-Rahman, Chief Executive of Pakistan’s largest media group, awarding him “top of the bracket” damages of £185,000 in a defamation suit brought against rival network ARY Network Ltd. and its Chief Operating Officer in respect of programs broadcast in the U.K. Mir Shakil claimed that over a twelve month period the ARY Network mounted a “campaign” of harassment and defamation against him. The Court rejected the harassment claim but found that ARY had failed to establish sufficient defenses for the alleged defamation. The Court said the offending allegations were distinctive and very serious and went to “the core attributes” of the Claimant’s personality. Furthermore, they were published to tens of thousands of people within the U.K. and there had been no withdrawal or apology.
