High Court grants leave to both parties to file evidence in an application to place a stay on Irish defamation proceedings, where the defendant contended that the proceedings should have been brought in the USA, but where neither side had produced adequate evidence as to whether there was a more appropriate forum for the determination of the proceedings.
Action for defamation - application for stay - forum non conveniens - whether action should have been pursued in US - allegation that White House put pressure on Department of Defence to award lease of spectrum to company connected with the plaintiff - whether story had defamatory meaning - whether US proceedings would be statute barred.
