For those interested in the Antipodean angle, the case Gutnick v Dow Jones has recently been granted leave to appeal to Australia's highest court. There should be argument before the High Court of Australia sometime in the second half of the year with a decision in early 2003.
The state of play is that Gutnick has been allowed to bring his action in Victoria, Australia, despite the protests of Dow Jones. Dow Jones are appealing that decision.
