> 1. Back at the High Court - final update
>
> My ongoing libel case goes to the Court of Appeal on Tuesday, when the
> meaning of my article will be decided by three of the most senior judges in
> the country. Whatever the outcome, the ruling could have a major impact on
> how English libel laws affect free speech in Britain and around the world.
>
> I have written about the case at length in previous emails, so I will not
> summarise the story again. In fact, this will be the last time that I mention
> the libel case until the whole legal process has been completed. So, if you
> want to keep up to date with the case then please track events on twitter by
> following @slsingh or #libelreform
>
> My final words on the subject are simply a plea to sign up to the petition
> for libel reform. English libel laws have a damaging impact on writers around
> the world, so we welcome signatories from all countries. My own writing has
> effectively been halted for almost two years because of the extortionate
> costs of libel and the painfully slow legal process. More generally, the
> libel laws can effecively crush criticism by bloggers, scientists,
> journalists, humans rights organizations and many others. Please sign up at
> www.libelreform.org/sign

> And, if you have already signed the petition, then please encourage others to
> sign up. If you want to remind yourself of the reasons that might persuade
