Is legislation against SLAPPs really necessary in the UK?

Rosalind English delves into this question with help from Greg Callus. Greg Callus joined 5RB as a barrister in 2015. He specialises primarily in defamation, data protection, freedom of information, privacy, confidentiality, and contempt of court. Under the cab rank rule, he acts for both claimants and defendants, and frequently appears at hearings concerning the open justice principle (anonymity, reporting restrictions & access to court documents) both for and against the media.
