As part of our commemoration of the 25th anniversary of the landmark Irving v Lipstadt case, we hosted a special live recording of the "Law and Disorder" podcast.
Hosts Sir Nicholas Mostyn, Charlie Falconer, and Baroness Helena Kennedy KC were joined by Anthony Julius, James Libson and Deborah Lipstadt to spotlight the pivotal case of David Irving v. Penguin Books and Deborah Lipstadt, a significant legal case which centred on Holocaust denial and libel laws.
The trial, which took place in 2000, involved historian Deborah Lipstadt's defence against David Irving's libel claims after she identified him as a Holocaust denier in her book. The case underscored the importance of historical truth and freedom of speech, ultimately resulting in a victory for Lipstadt and a reaffirmation of the Holocaust's factuality.
