Hello, I would like some more information about taking action against a Director of a Limited Company (a self-employed contractor) for Slander. It is my understanding that "Slander occurs where someone tells one or more people an untruth about another which will harm the reputation of the person named. " I also understand that loss or damage does not have to be proven "if there has been any statement intended to disparage an individual in his office, profession, trade, calling or business." 1. Is this correct? (I can prove both the slander and the subsequent damage without doubt) 2. At what point do I need to appoint a solicitor? what kind of solicitor do I need to look for? 3. Presumably there is some kind of notice I have to send to give notice of this action? Thanks very much (PM preferred but any response appreciated)

I have a large collection of hybrid plants and I'm a member of a number of online forum's and facebook groups for this group of hybrid plants and I want to write some short notes on different commercial sellers to help new members some of these sellers are known to take money and then cease all contact with the buyer or not send anything for 6 months or send absolute rubbish.. . now I have not personally purchased from a couple of these sellers so if I write something along the lines of now if I haven't personally bought from them where do I stand? obviously if I have purchased form them then I can give a personal experience account. Many thanks in advance!

hi if the respondent submits false allegations, everything from theft, drug use, violence etc., in the desperate attempt to defame the whistle-blower, can they be sued in turn for making defamatory claims and committing perjury, hearing goes public shortly??

Hi again all, wasnt sure where to put this thread so please move if needed. Now as most of you may know i am self employed, i work in a service industry. Where would i stand with regards to suing a individual for slander or liable. I advertise in many ways but one way (as its free) is social media, there is 3-4 people who seem to have taken a disliking to me and they are literally trying to ruin my business by spreading outright lies, which unfortunately people are believing. I have already had 6 jobs cancelled in a week as a direct result of the lies these few people are spreading. Am i right in thinking slander is spoken and liable is written. Ive had enough, i want to sue these people to make them think twice.
