Mr McCoy SC C D contended McCallum J’s observations demostrated a good arguable case E F G H that Google Inc could rely on the passivity rule for their Autocomplete and Related Searches functions. 10. In respect of Ground 3, Mr McCoy SC submitted that upon proper understanding of the functionalities of Google Search, it was plain E F G H the Words were merely a true representation of user activity without I J Google Inc having judged the correctness, credibility or reliability of the contents (which contention harked back to Ground 2). Since the neutral I J context in which the Words appeared would be paramount, Mr McCoy K L SC suggested I should have held there was no arguable case against Google Inc for defamation to seize it of jurisdiction under Order 11 of the K L RHC.
