Conclusions
Conclusion
For these reasons, I have reached the following conclusions:
the natural and ordinary meaning of each of the Documentary and the Drama is that the claimant was responsible for the murder of his niece, Banaz Mahmod;
the Claimant’s Limitation Application must be refused;
the Summary Judgment Application succeeds on Ground 1 (but, even if it had not succeeded on Ground 1, it would have succeeded on Ground 2), and therefore the claim form and Particulars of Claim will be struck out and summary judgment granted in favour of the defendant; and
as the claim is to be struck out, the Amendment Application falls away.
