Research title: Defamation in the 21st Century: a comparative analysis of the law of defamation in Scotland and South Africa

Research Summary

My research aims to build upon the foundations of comparative studies of Scots and South African private law undertaken primarily in the late 1990s as the mechanism for a comprehensive critical evaluation of the Scots law of defamation in light of the passage of the Defamation and Malicious Publication (Scotland) Act 2021.
