High Court judge seeks more evidence on jurisdiction of Declan Ganley's defamation case against CNN. Galway-based businessman and US Rivada telecommunications firm are suing CNN for defamation. CNN requested the High Court to determine the US as the appropriate forum due to Rivada's American ties, while Ganley opposes and wishes to keep the case in Ireland. Judge Garrett Simons ruled that it's currently not possible to assess or compare alternative forums, and the interests of justice dictate further evidence is needed.
