Defamation occurs when your character is called into question by a publication of a statement in the public domain.

You can be defamed by someone in the workplace, in the media, in a variety of public places.

One thing to know is that you have limited time periods from the date of publication to commence proceedings (please seek specific advice on this point).

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.

Damages as an end in itself, may not be your prime motivation in pursuing litigation. You may prefer to receive an apology or a correction published in the media. There are a variety of remedies available to you which we are happy to discuss with you.
