Famous examples include the fomerChelsea owner and Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich who took action against Catherine Belton and her publisher Harper Collins over claims made in Belton’s book ‘Putin’s People’: and attempts by lawyers working for the then Chancellor Nadim Zahawi to gag tax lawyer and journalist Dan Neidle who’d been investigating his.finances.
Adrian Goldberg hears from Susan Coughtrie, co chair of the Anti Slapp coalition and Lexie Kirkconnell-Kawana, CEO of the press regulator Impress.
