The article's tone discusses the inabilty of the average person to be able to persue libel action as the risks of entering a libel lawsuit costs, usually, a minimum of £150,00. The article is very much of the opinion that the libel law is one which is merely reserved for big businesses who can afford to sue for libel. This is terrible! The very laws put in place to protect the INDIVIDUAL's - as well as business' - public reputation are simply useless with such financial restrictions put upon those who may have been publicly mistreated.
The article goes on to argue why the issues of libel is reserved to being heard at the High Court when compared to other more serious issues which are heard at less important courts. The argument is that libel cases should be heard in lower courts (County Courts), which don't entail massive fees associated with the High Courts.
