[[B]In the latest ruling, three judges said
Mr Banks' appeal should be allowed in
relation to the TED talk's publication,
but upheld the other conclusions made by the judge.
It means Mr Banks could win damages from
Ms Cadwalladr, but only linked to the publication
of the TED talk between April 2020 and the rulings
in June last year.]
["The judge's finding that harm
to the claimant's reputation
in the eyes of these publishees was
of 'no consequence' to him was also unsustainable.
"If she meant that the claimant did not
care what these publishees thought,
that was legally irrelevant to the issue of
whether serious reputational harm
was established.
"There was no evidence to support
a conclusion that others' adverse opinions
of the claimant were of 'no consequence'
to him in the sense that they could
have no practical impact upon his life."
The TED Talk in question was viewed
around 1 million times in
England and Wales initially,
but only another 100,000 watched after
the Electoral Commission statement
on 29 April 2020.
Damages owed, and his application
for an injunction to prevent any further
publication, are both yet to be determined.]
