In England and Wales, the 2013 Act extended the scope of certain of these provisions to statements issued anywhere in the world, but only in relation to England and Wales.
The 2013 Act also created two new forms of qualified privilege which apply in Scotland:
statements in a scientific or academic journal which have been subject to peer review by academic experts (section 6 of the 2013 Act)
fair and accurate reports of proceedings of scientific or academic conferences held anywhere in the world - including copies, extracts from and summaries of material (section 7(9) of the 2013 Act)
