Plaintiff

Because a decision is reached long after the commencement of the case, the defendant is entitled to time, but the plaintiff does not get time.

There, the plaintiff should speak first, the defendant immediately after.

He who has a greater financial or physical grievance, to him the right to be plaintiff should be given, not to him who presents his case first.

Where the existence of a privileged occasion is established, we have seen that the plaintiff must give affirmative proof of malice, that is, dishonest or reckless ill-will, in order to succeed.

A plaintiff’s general bad repute cannot be pleaded as part of the defence to an action for defamation, for it is not directly material to the issue, but can be proved only in mitigation of damages.

and if the defendant establishes this, he will not be liable unless the plaintiff can prove that the communication was not honestly made for the purpose of discharging a legal, moral or social duty, or with a view to the just protection of some private interest or of the public good by giving information appearing proper to be given, but from some improper motive and without due regard to truth.

What was written in the first stage, letter for letter and in its entirety, the plaintiff must prove by evidence in the third stage.

The penalty for a false accuser is that the fine prescribed in that case shall fall upon the plaintiff.

A plaintiff, having well-ascertained the strength of his case and being prompted by his own interest, should have the first plaint written down, being certain of the matter to be accomplished.
