Out of Court

on BBC Two England

David Jessel and guest presenter Kirsty Wark examine the sparks which fly when people clash with the law.
This week: when Jeffrey Archer walked away from the High Court with half-a-million pounds from the Star, he hit the jackpot in the lottery of our libel laws.
But as libel fees, too, reach astronomical heights, only the wealthy and well-protected can afford to defend their reputations in court. Even lawyers want reforms in this elaborate game of bluff and counter-bluff.
