Appeal Court to hear appeal of Conrad Black libel lawsuits tomorrow

My sense is the appeal will be dismissed but regardless it is most unlikely that the Court will rule right away:

TORONTO — The Internet is not a "no man's land" when it comes to libel, lawyers for Conrad Black say in arguing that six libel lawsuits should proceed in Ontario, where he established his reputation and should be vindicated from statements about his use of Hollinger shareholder money.

Lawyers for the media baron turned convicted felon will be in the Ontario Appeal Court on Monday for a hearing on an appeal from the libel action's defendants.
