Dr Kelly felix is attempting to defend the twitter update on the basis that it is true, amid other grounds.
At the latest of a string après des demandes répétées à sur le terrain 34 of proceedings on preliminary matters, The legal Rares told Dr Kelly's barrister, Bruce McClintock, SC, that some of the material pleaded meant for the truth defence was "vague plus general and just not good enough".
Legal Rares refused to allow parts of that it is pleaded in an amended defence, that they ordered to be filed later on this month.
The court read it was a year to the day time since Justice Rares delivered your judgment on other parts involving Dr Kelly's defence in the long working legal battle.
"This case concerns a tweet to about 1,000 people, I don't know," Legal Rares said.
"It's now bigger than Jeff Hur."
He questioned whether or not Dr Kelly's legal team need to be given another chance to "fix" a defence, but ultimately agreed to allow an amended defense to be filed with some areas deleted.
In addition to the truth safety, Dr Kelly's legal team argues that the tweet conveys a different and more damaging meaning: which the two men are hypocrites.

Justice Rares said that some of the material pleaded in support of that defence should not be allowed.
Mr McClintock suggested this could be pleaded to support the assertion that comment peuventils avoir faim 47 Mr Crosby was a hypocrite as it was not plausible a "highly stylish political operative" would believe these kinds of "guff".
"We're not talking about the kind of individuals who listen to the shock jocks," Mr McClintock said.
Justice Rares disagreed, saying there was no evidence that will Mr Crosby didn't believe the actual claims in the advertisement.
Rights Rares said politicians "make all these nonsensical claims" in election campaigns yet "that's not to say they don't believe in everything that nonsense".
"A recent premier of New south wales came out with all the one impact stuff," Justice Rares reported in a reference to controversial laws and regulations imposing a mandatory minimum heading of eight years in prison for people found guilty of fatal booze or drug fuelled assaults.
