Interesting to note that the draft Defamation Act (Bill) 2012, not yet I think in force, makes it clear that English courts will not have l;ibel jurisdiction when person allegedly libelled is not domiciled in the jurisdiction. I have no idea whether that applies to the case in question though i understand that the person allegedly libelled has been resident in past and recent years in Australia and Italy.
