Appeal did not establish that judge had made an error in deciding previous defamation case, court rules

Gatto described himself as extremely disappointed with Justice Andrew Keogh’s ruling, promising “this ain’t the end”.He sought permission to appeal on multiple points but was granted leave relating only to parts he claims imply he threatened to kill Gobbo.They said words in the article went beyond a meaning that there were reasonable grounds to suspect Gatto threatened to kill Gobbo.

Three Victorian court of appeal judges on Wednesday largely rejected Gatto’s application, but said it was reasonably arguable the judge made an error in relation to that one particular claim. But they ultimately decided that there was a fine balance as to what was implied and the judge had made no error in deciding the case.
