I think I see where th misunderstanding is.
You are assuming CA will be a co-defendant, I am assuming a seperate suit will follow.
JM is dealing with KCs defaming of ZG right now, including the part that CA played in that.
CA's role as herself, and not KCs mouthpiece could well be a completely seperate case.
Two seperate judgements, not a single judgement shared. Each tried and adjudicated on their own merits.
Yes, I wasn't suggesting that there was no potential cause of action against CA at all, but just that as things stand, she is not a defendant and I'm not convinced that there was any original intention to make her one, certainly not on ZG's part anyway, although JM might like her to, since he seems to have an agenda all of his own, IMO.
Unless JM offers to represent ZG on a pro bono or contingency basis in a further separate claim against CA, I can't see her really wanting to go through this whole public minefield a second time though, can you? From what I've read of defamation cases, they're pretty hard to prove and damages awards are normally fairly low - and this info. was from a US legal site, not UK.
