Defamation
Defamation laws are designed to restore and protect the reputation of individuals and companies.
The defamation act is a piece of legislation that is easy to navigate however it can bring complex and difficult proceedings in all jurisdictions.
We can prepare a strategy to restore and protect your reputation should you feel you have suffered defamation. We will give you accurate and efficient advice and, if necessary, represent you against those by whom you feel aggrieved.
The initial stages of a defamation action start with what is known as a “concerns notice“. There is often a misapprehension that a simple letter asking a person to correct their views about another and pay some form of damages is done by way of a letter with minimal content.
If you are serious about bringing proceedings for defamation against a person or company you must ensure that this concerns notice is done properly and in detail its contents can affect the pleadings to be made in a civil suit.
