Title: Woman sued for verbal violence Post by sprintcyclist on Oct 23rd, 2008 at 10:36am
Good stuff - they have been doing it forever !!
"A DEFAMATION expert yesterday warned warring families to watch what they say after a woman who called her in-law a paedophile during a "family feud" was ordered to pay him $30,000 in damages. Only four people - including the man's son and daughter - heard the remark, which was made during a child access dispute in July last year. But District Court Judge Judith Gibson, who ordered the payout, said: "The making of an allegation of paedophilia, in the context of a dispute of access and custody, is like pouring oil onto a fire. "It caused the plaintiff a great deal of anxiety and concern. The fact that a serious defamation was published to persons who are close to the plaintiff does not make it any the less hurtful.".......... http://www.news.com.au/dailytelegraph/story/0,22049,24538238-5001021,00.html |
