Judge says at least nine of them must agree on the answers to the questions
The jury in the action by Denis O’Brien alleging he was defamed in articles published in the Sunday Business Post have been told it is open to them to reach a majority verdict.
That means at least nine of them must agree on the answers to the questions and it must be the same nine, or 10, in each case, he said. Mr O’Brien is suing Post Publications Ltd, publisher of the SBP, over articles published over six pages in the newspaper of March 15th, 2015 in which Mr O’Brien was named as amongst the 22 biggest borrowers from Irish banks in 2008.
