Whatever
Reader comment on: N.Y. Appeals Court Opens Door to 'Libel Tourism'

Submitted by Chris, Dec 22, 2007 00:09

If the court in New York has no jurisdiction over Mahfouz, then it stands to reason the the British court has no jurisdiction over Ms. Ehrenfeld. They have no mechanism to enforce the decision, so my advice is just ignore it and move on.
