Solicitor Jessica Sarwat comments on defamation claims, in City AM

Solicitor Jessica Sarwat comments in City AM on the power of defamation laws, following the news that Emmanuel Macron and his wife are launching legal action against podcaster Candace Owens.

Jessica’s comments were published in City AM, 24 July 2025.

“Defamation law remains one of the most potent mechanisms for individuals to restore their reputation and hold others accountable for the serious harm caused by false and damaging statements.

“If the Macrons can demonstrate that Owens wilfully ignored clear evidence to the contrary, the law may offer them not only vindication, but a public reckoning.”
