Sticks and stones may break my bones: What constitutes serious harm in defamation? – on-demand recording
1 CPD units
1 CPD Unit On-demand recording |
Online | |
Since 1 July 2021 it has been a requirement in all NSW defamation claims that the plaintiff prove that they have suffered serious harm. This change was adopted from the law in the UK and was meant to reduce the amount of "backyard" defamation claims before the courts. Almost two years on, there is still some uncertainty as to what is required to satisfy this element. It is also unclear as to whether it has had the effect the law was intended to achieve. These issues and more will be discussed in this session. This session was recorded during the Specialist Accreditation Conference 2023. |
