Libel and the law.

Unread post by Daniel Quinn »

The truth is an absolute defence to an allegation of defamation.

If you are telling the truth, it matters not what your interlocutor thinks about it.

Thus it somebody is alleging something about someone and doesn't bother to name them and details, then you have to ask yourself why.

If what there saying is true why are they being so vague.

Best remembered.

Very true and brings back memories of a situation I was in some years ago. I received lengthy letters from a solicitor threatening to take me for everything I had, including the house, for defamation unless I dropped a case for damages I was pursuing against his client. I was telling the truth and because I was being thretened with court action I was able to exploit an exemption in the data protection act. The exemption enabled me to obtain a document from the Ploice which proved that what I had written was true and not defamation. It all worked out very well for me in the end.
