Guest: Emmanuel Samarathisa, Founder, The Malaysianist
Can the court block a story that’s not been published? Emmanuel Samarathisa, founder of The Malaysianist, joins The Morning Run to to unpack the legal fight between corporate figure Datuk Seri Farhash Wafa Salvador and global news wire Bloomberg.
The former political secretary to the Prime Minister sued Bloomberg over an article that hadn’t been published yet and won an ex parte injunction restraining publication until November 16. Emmanuel talks to us about the landmark 1891 Bonnard v. Perryman rule and how it sets a high bar on pre-publication restraint.
He also examines Farhash’s boardroom ascent and previews the three critical arguments to watch when Bloomberg challenges the injunction on November 16.
