With the judgement in Milan in favour of [URL="http://www.economist.com/opinion/displayStory.cfm?source=hptextfeature&story_id=12076765"]The Economist[/URL], awarding costs against Dott Berlusconi, we wait with bated - or is it baited? - breath, once again.

In July 2001 Silvio Berlusconi, then prime minister of Italy, launched a lawsuit in Italy alleging that The Economist had defamed him in its article [URL="http://www.economist.com/opinion/displaystory.cfm?story_id=587107"]"An Italian Story"[/URL], which appeared in our April 26th 2001 issue. The magazine cover bore the title: "Why Silvio Berlusconi is unfit to lead Italy". We are pleased to announce that the Court in Milan has issued a judgment rejecting all Mr Berlusconi's claims and requiring him to make a payment for costs to The Economist. The full judgment, in Italian, is [URL="http://www.economist.com/media/pdf/20080905122118632.pdf"]available here[/URL]. The Economist will not be making any further comment. Mr Berlusconi is once again prime minister of Italy.[/quote]

beautifully written, eh?
