Mr Justice Eady was called in to rule on a libel case involving the great grandson of author JRR Tolkien.
Royd Tolkien had allegedly left defamatory comments on the website of Christopher Carrie, who claims he was abused by the son of JRR Tolkien.
The case was thrown out after Eady pointed out that Carrie could have removed the allegedly defamatory comments as they were left on his website.
