» Defamation

Expertise across the board

At Etheringtons we have expertise with commercial defamation. Our advice is clear and comprehensive. Companies can be defamed over allegations relating to its business operations and whether your company has conducted its business honestly and competently.  You may also be defamed personally, which can also impact upon your business.

Defamation

  • You have limited time to act in a defamation case, so seek advice quickly.
  • Defamation occurs when your character or business reputation is called into question by the publication of a statement in the public domain.
  • The ‘public domain’ includes the workplace, in the media, on the internet and a variety of public places.

Do you have a case?

The extent of publication is critical to the issue of the range of damages that you may be eligible to recover in a court action. We are able to advise on possible settlements based on previous case history.

Settlement can include:

  • Monetary damages
  • Public apology
  • A suitably placed correction

We can evaluate your choices and possibilities with you.
