Phil Holloway, the then-Minister for Industries and Commerce under Prime Minister Walter Nash during the Second Labour Government.[2] Holloway was not happy with the innuendo that he was involved in issuing import licences in a questionable way, and sued the paper for defamation. The paper defended the matter on the basis of privilege, in publishing an article of national significance. The High Court ruled that the paper did not have such a defence, and awarded damages of NZ£11,000. Truth appealed to the Court of Appeal claiming they had the defence of privilege, and also that the judge had misdirected the jury. HeldThe Court of Appeal upheld the judgement. The Truth subsequently unsuccessfully appealed to the Privy Council, but solely on the grounds that the judge had misdirected the jury. Footnote: Defence Counsel here (Robin Cooke) later became Justice Cooke.
