Allegation complained of self-evidently of a serious nature False picture of the claimant’s article on the Gingerbread website As the defendant’s journalist must have known the claimant had not accused her fellow churchgoers of ‘stigmatising’ or ‘cruelly taunting’ her. She had referred to a single occasion involving a woman who had visited the church one day whilst she was working there. There was thus no basis in fact for the central premise of the article.
