[12/2, 20:09] Sekarreporter: [12/2, 19:44] Lita Srinivasan Two: 67. Concerning the plea of locus standi as raised by the defendants, I would like to refer to the verdicts as found exemplified in the following four English decisions, namely,
(i)MORRIS V. PERROTT, (1945) ALL ER 567 (CA)
(ii)SOUTH HETTON COAL CO. V. N.E.NEWS ASSON., (1894) 1 QB 133(CA);
(iii) COMPANY OF SELBY BRIDGE V. SUNDAY TELEGRAPH,(1966)CLY 6973; AND
(iv) LEWIS V. DAILY TELEGRAPH,(1963) 2 ALL ER 151 CLY 6973.
the gist and kernal of those decisions as found exemplified in the famous treatise ‘Durga Das Basu Law of the Press'(Fourth Edition 2002) at page Nos.318 and 319 would run thus:
“2. But a corporation can sue for defamation when it affects its business and property, and that even though the charge is levelled against individual members. In order that a corporation may sue for a defamation two conditions must exist:(a) The statement must be of such a nature that it would be defamatory if directed against an individual. (b) It must also be of such a nature that its tendency is to cause actual damage to the corporation in respect of its property and business. Thus, a libel charging a trading corporation with insolvency or with dishonest or incompetent management is actionable at the suit of the corporation. 3. If it is shown that the libel has a tendency to damage the trading reputation of the plaintiff corporation, it is not required further to prove actual loss. In other words, it is entitled to be compensated for inquiry to its ‘goodwill’ though there may not have been any actual loss of income.”
