Now that is interesting. It takes a considerable degree of self confidence to threaten legal action. Dealings through complaint procedures, and demands for right of reply are one thing - legal action quite another.

Why would one be confident that the journalist would back down? One would look doubly silly if he/she did not.

EDIT That was a rhetorical question. I fully understand the reluctance to give further information.

Probably because nobody wins in terms of money spent. When she says she will threaten she probably means Bristol Uni. Although why they would have her back is anyone's guess but we've seen it with QMUL It's irrational.
