The Smith's originator Morrisey has been granted a trial in his recent lawsuit filed against NME for defamation of character in a 2007 interview. The article gave the portrayal that he was a racist and a xenophobic. The trial is set to begin in 2012
"Overall, in my judgment a proper balance between the Article 10 right of freedom of expression of [NME magazine] and Mr. Morrissey's right to the protection of his individual reputation requires, in the circumstances of this case, that the action be permitted to proceed." -Mr. Justice Tugendhat (Britain's most senior libel judge)
