The governor of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger, signed a law yesterday that will protect American journalist and broadcasters from British and foreign libel judgments and the court rulings of other.
The new legislation effectively negates the practice of libel tourism.
It represents the growing opposition among Americans to Britain’s libel laws, which are in conflict with the First Amendment of the US Constitution, which protects freedom of speech.
