Re: The Official Union Board Elections 2007 Thread
The funnier bit is that we had a lawyer talk to us all for 20 minutes about what constituted defamation, and then sent us a document doing the same.brogan77 said:Um Ruchir...he hasn't slandered you.
Slander's harmful statement in a transitory form, eg. speech.
If it was anything, it would be libel: harmful statement in a fixed medium, eg. writing...on a forum/blog.
But even then, they're all classified as defamation in OZ law these days.
SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS,
Get your facts straight before you go around wantonly throwing legal terms at people trying to intimidate them.
