McLibel Case (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. McDonald's Corporation v Steel & Morris EWHC QB 366, known as "the McLibel case" was an English lawsuit filed by McDonald's Corporation against environmental activists Helen Steel and David Morris over a pamphlet critical of the company. The original case lasted ten years, making it the longest-running libel case in English history. A feature-length documentary film, McLibel, was made about the case by Franny Armstrong. Although McDonald's won two hearings of the case in English courts, the partial nature of the victory, the David-vs-Goliath nature of the case, and the drawn-out litigation embarrassed the company.
