THE HON. MRS JUSTICE TIPPLES Approved judgment Greenstein v Campaign Against Antisemitism [2020] EWHC 2951 (QB) 9. As a result of the defendant’s misuse of the claimant’s private information, the claimant has suffered and continues to suffer distress, hurt and intense embarrassment.” 66. As with the claim under the 1998 Act, the defendant’s response is that this claim: (i) does not add materially to the claim in libel and that it serves “no purpose and is liable to be struck out” (see paragraph 81 of the amended defence); (ii) it is not properly particularised; and (iii) should be struck out as an abuse of process under the Jameel jurisdiction. 67. The claimant takes essentially the same points set out at paragraph 60 above in relation to the way the defendant has framed its strike out application in respect of this claim. It seems to me that this claim goes hand in hand with the claim under the 1998 Act and, as with that claim, I am not in a position to reach any view on the information before me that the continued litigation of the claim for misuse of private information is disproportionate or that this is an exceptional case in which the Jameel jurisdiction should be exercised. I therefore refuse the defendant’s application to strike out this claim. Conclusion 68. The result therefore is that the defendant is entitled to summary judgment under CPR Part 24.2 on the honest opinion defences; the malice pleas (at paragraphs 22, 23,25 and 26 of the amended reply) shall be struck out under CPR Part 3.4(2)(a); paragraph 7.2 of the particulars of claim shall be struck out (as a result of the claimant’s concession); and the defendant’s applications to strike out the claims under the 1998 Act and for misuse of private information are dismissed. 69. The disposal of the defamation claim substantially reduces the size of this litigation. Decisions about the future case management of this claim will include devising a procedure by which the remaining parts of the claim can be adjudicated in a proportionate way. That will include consideration whether the claim should remain in the High Court or be transferred to the County Court and I will invite the parties’ submissions on this issue. ______________________ 2 1
