Headline

Harbottle given all clear to discuss News International role

Comment

News International have put the ball firmly into Harbottle's court. Any kind of rebuttal to press reporting has to acheive two things to draw a line - explain their brief and do so in a way that shows why the finger pointing is wrong and unfair in order to kill off further questions. And even if News International have waived confidentiality, Harbottle may still be free to assert that it is not in their client's interest to have their lawyers commenting however much it is in that law firm's interest to do so and choose to stay above it and ride it out. That is a big call to make.
