I seek clarification in regard to this section's provision that a person has only one cause of action in respect of a multiple publication. Subsection (2) provides that a court may grant leave to a person to bring more than one defamation action in respect of a multiple publication. Does this section apply where, for instance, an article that defames a person is taken up by other publications, thus repeating the defamation? Is that what is referred to here?
