The Defendant filed a witness statement headed “Meanings Witness Statement” dated 3 April 2025. Again, the document was wider in scope than the Preliminary Issues. The document included a transcript of the section of the YouTube video from 10.55 – 15.04 minutes into the broadcast, indicating by the colour of the font when Ms Miller was speaking and when her co-presenter was speaking. She stated she made no mention of the Claimant’s full name and that only “Chris” was used in the video. Ms Miller reiterated that she had not written the England Athletics emails, nor procured anyone to send them.

Pursuant to Master Davison’s direction for the exchange of witness statements, the Defendant also filed a document dated 3 May 2025 headed “Defence Witness Statement”, in this she again denied that she had written or procured the emails sent to England Athletics. She also repeated the points she had made in her earlier document as to whether the Claimant was identified in the YouTube video.
