UK - Galloway wins libel appeal

The Telegraph reports that Galloway wins this round but note this:

Giving judgment, the Master of the Rolls, Sir Anthony Clarke, said it was not "in dispute that the Baghdad documents were of great interest to the public", and had they been published "without comment or further allegation Mr Galloway could have no complaint" since it was in the public interest for The Daily Telegraph to publish them, after giving Mr Galloway a fair opportunity to respond.

There was "no formal challenge" to their authenticity, and "they must be taken to be what they purport to be" although while The Daily Telegraph was willing to establish authenticity if required, Mr Galloway's stance was that he did not accept they were genuine, said the ruling.

And Galloway is under investigation by the Serious Fraud Office and the Charities Commission.
