Summary
She rejected Bloomberg's argument that the article merely examined a broader trend of non-caveated GCB transactions and that the ministers were cited only as examples. The ministers' case was that the article had defamed them in two ways. She found that the second element was also made out, and that the article defamed both ministers.
