Injurious falsehood -classy but difficult to prove
Injurious falsehood is making a comeback. Its popularity lapsed after Victorian times, so most lawyers do not remember it.
Why
accuse someone of defamation when you can accuse them of injurious
falsehood which sounds so much better? Well, the reason is that it is
harder to prove but in Australia, for corporations with more than 10
employees it is the only option as they are not allowed to sue for
defamation, as such.
My Struggle - Body Corporate Chairman About once per month, an owner of a unit in a body corporate (strata)
building seeks advice about defamation where perceived highhanded
behaviour by the Chairman of the committee is somehow involved.
Fortunately, it is not the same unit owner. Any resemblance with Chairman of Body Corporates especially on the Sunshine Coast or Berlin is purely coincidental.

Disclaimer: The content of the Law & Disorder eZine is to give you legal basics and in some instances, included unashamedly to try and make you laugh. In law, it is sometimes difficult to work out what is serious and what is just for fun. Therefore, if you plan to do anything legal, rely on your own lawyer's advice or instruct me to look at the particular facts of your case. Not only will I deny responsibility for the legal content but also for some of the jokes.
