Tolley v Fry (1931)

Last modified: Thu Feb 23 16:37:38 2006

[1931] AC 333 (HL). The claimant amateur golfer bought an action in defamation against a chocolate manufacturer, who had depicted the golfer in its advertising, with a bar of chocolate in his pocket. The HouseOfLords held that this constituted a defamatory innuendo -- although members of society in general would not see anything negative in the depiction, to amateur sportsmen it might appear Tolley had been accepting money from the defendant for advertising.
