BUSINESS DEFAMATION
The Media Agency
In this case we represented the claimant, which was a well-respected media agency supplying marketing support to its business clients. The defendant was a university graduate and a recent college athlete playing football in the U.S and who occasionally streamed video games on Twitch. Following our client’s stay at the camping and caravan park, our client decided to leave a genuine review of his experience at the camping and caravan park on pitchup.com. The owner of the caravan and camping park was the defendant’s mother. Our client then discovered 4 Google reviews with 1-star ratings posted simultaneously by the defendant on the claimant’s Google My Business Page in retaliation for the honest review posted by the claimant. Upon receipt of our letter before action, the defendant removed all the reviews complained of and provided undertakings not to repeat his actions.
Who Do I Sue for Internet Defamation?
The law is complex. Our focus in every case is to get the offending material taken down as quickly as we can. This includes seeking urgent removal from search engine results.
Our first step is to approach the person who posted the material (if known). We will also approach the publisher – the website operator or host – who may have an interest in removing material because of their potential liability under UK defamation law.
Our initial letter will:
State the precise nature of the defamation
Request the immediate removal of the material from all internet locations in which it appears
Indicate our intention to instigate legal proceedings if our requests are not met
