Who can bring a claim for defamation?

Anyone who can show that the defamatory statement has caused you ‘serious harm’, then there may be prospects of bringing a successful claim. We can advise on the merits of your case and tailor a strategy to your individual circumstances.

What relief is available to victims of Defamation?

The primary forms of relief are withdrawal of the defamatory action, a corrective action on the part of the defendant to restore the lost/damaged reputation of the claimant, an published apology and/or compensation. We can pursue legal action to get you the relief that you deserve.

What are the defences to Defamation?

In general terms the main defences available are that the alleged defamatory statement made was ‘true fact’ or it was an ‘honest opinion’, it can also be argued that the statement was made in the public interest.
