Dyson Technology Ltd and Dyson Ltd appealed a ruling in October that said the broadcast was not centred on the companies, nor on James Dyson himself, and therefore they could not pursue a libel claim against the broadcaster and Independent Television News, which produces the Channel 4 news programme…

Judges James Dingemans and Mark Warby said the broadcast "had at least the theme that Dyson was a leading British company which sold products manufactured by ATA in Malaysia whose employees suffered abuse and inhuman working conditions and Dyson should have known what was happening and stopped it"…
