| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “In your opinion.” | 3 |
| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “I have two quick follow-ups. You might not be able to name a case of libel tourism, Paul, but do you think the potential is there for that to exist? Is that a marketable opportunity?” | 35 |
| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “As the Chair said, we would be genuinely delighted to, but we are bound to stick to the topic. The Chair has invited that analysis and will be really keen to read it. I just want to pick up on the privacy issue.” | 43 |
| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “Exactly: it is a way that both shuts the press up and is publicly funded to do so. Would any of the remedies that we have discussed here help to address that? Are there other avenues that you think should be explored?” | 42 |
| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “I can’t wait.” | 3 |
| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “You have painted a picture of not one but at least two cases—” | 13 |
| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “Thank you very much. That was all very disturbing, and now we will move on to the legal intimidation and coercion tactics that you might have been subject to. Malachi, could you outline the legal action brought against you by Gerry Kelly MLA? You might touch on the impact that it had on you personally and financially.” | 57 |
| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “There are a lot of issues we will want to come back to.” | 13 |
| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “I can’t wait.” | 3 |

| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “The danger is, having—I believe—identified substantial gaps and flaws in our legislative framework for defamation and SLAPPs in Northern Ireland, we could eat up all our time on AI, which is outwith the remit of this Committee.” | 37 |
| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “Time is not in our favour, and other colleagues want to come in, including on the existing legal framework. We are not necessarily in disagreement on AI, but I don’t think time allows.” | 33 |

In many cases, there is a complete inequality of arms, in that the costs can tick up, as they did for somebody like Malachi. In that case, imperfect though it was, there was at least a two-sided legal process, where he would have had—if he had unlimited financial means—the opportunity to go in and,…” | 96 |
| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “Obviously, the definition and categorisation of SLAPPs is evolving. Are you familiar with the concept of super-injunctions? Do you think that they would fall under the same categorisation?” | 28 |
| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “You think that Malachi’s case appears to be the exception; you do not think that that is part of an identifiable culture.” | 22 |
| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “Do you think that Malachi’s case is a one off? Do you think it is the exception, or part of a culture?” | 22 |
| 5 Feb 2025 | Northern Ireland Affairs Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 650) “I think all of us would defend people’s right to a good name. I am so sorry to hear about the experience of you and your family. Nobody should face intimidation in the course of their work. You have said that cases like Malachi’s should not happen, but they clearly do, and they happen extensively. The judge, as Malachi…” | 118 |
