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.
