At Fosters Solicitors, We understand that defamatory conduct can be devastating to the livelihood of both businesses and individuals concerned about a healthy reputation in peril. Although there is no single, definitive interpretation from a judge about what constitutes a defamatory statement – an assessment we often use as lawyers is whether or not a statement complained of tends generally to lower the reputation of the injured party in the estimation of right-thinking members of society. Common examples include libel, the more lasting form (such as words), or slander (for example spoken words or gestures).

We all use experts when it comes to complex or technical matters that require expertise. Often, we have no option but to place complete trust in these individuals or organisations. Human error, or incompetence can lead to negligence and in turn loss, so much so that when some aspect of an expert’s service falls below what you can reasonably expect, there can be grave, sometimes life-changing consequences.
