Judge rejects argument of lawyers for actor on meaning of eight articles that Clarke says unfairly defamed him
Noel Clarke’s legal action against the Guardian has suffered a setback after a high court judge rejected his lawyers’ arguments on the meaning of eight articles that he says unfairly defamed him.
Clarke, an actor and producer best known for his Kidulthood film trilogy, is suing the Guardian over articles published in 2021 and 2022 following an investigation by its journalists into allegations of misconduct against him.
