LAW OF LIBEL
EXTENSION OF PRIVILEGE MODIFIED BY COMMITTEE (Parliamentary Reporter.) WELLINGTON, this day. The scope of the Law of Libel Amendment Bill, which was introduced by the Minister of Justice, the Hon. J. G. Cobbe, has been considerably restricted by the Statutes Revision Committee, which reported on the measure in the House. It was originally intended to give qualified privilege to reports of proceedings and findings of domestic tribunals established by the controlling authorities of sports organisations. The committee has amended the bill to restrict this protection to reports of the proceedings and findings in any inquiry conducted in accordance with the rules of any organisation, conference, club or body of persons established -for the control of horse racing.
