Suing in the UK while based abroad?

September 30, 2008 7:53 AM

Have you ever sued someone for libel in the UK, while you yourself were based in another country? If so, what was your experience?

I'm very interested in a top-to-bottom view of what the process is like. How did you find a lawyer? How much time did you have to spend in the UK? What was your overall impression with the way things worked out?

I have Googled quite a bit -- but there's a lot of noise and I'd like a first-person perspective. Any information you could share would be most appreciated.

FYI, there is a proposal to curb 'libel tourism', at least as it affects US Citizens.
