Shonky Trumpster,

You need to brush up on the law, as it applies in Australia under uniform defamation laws.

"Only certain not-for-profit corporations, and corporations that employ less than 10 employees, can sue an individual for defamation."

Me thinks those legal letters you cut out from the Cornflakes packet are slipping. This reminds me of your legal pontifications in the 'Cry Baby' Porter defamation case with the ABC, now what did you say; "Christian Porter has noting to worry about, he's in for $10+ million plus from the ABC, a grovelling apology and 100 ABC staff sacked to pay for it all. Yep, 'Cry Baby' had nothing to worry about, in fact you were trumpeting Porter as a future PM. Where's the grub now?

Feel free to read about defamation cases including several successful cases against people by companies.

SM,

You are completely off track. Show one case where a large corporation has sued an individual for defamation, its simply not permitted under Australian law. All the cases from that private law firm, there is not one listed where a large corporation has sued an individual for defamation.

Paul,

"Can a business sue for injurious falsehood?
Businesses can sue for injurious falsehood if they can prove that they have suffered financial loss as a result of someone making a false or damaging statement about them. To win a case for injurious falsehood, businesses must be able to show that the statements were made maliciously and without any justification.

In addition, businesses must prove that the statements caused them financial harm. If a business can successfully prove these elements, they may be awarded damages. However, it should be noted that these cases can be very complex and costly to litigate. As such, businesses should always seek legal advice before taking any action."

SM,

You can't wriggle out of the fact, you didn't know that a large corporation with more than 10 employees, that's BHP, Coles and Woolworths, cannot sue an individual for deformation. I ask you, produce one instance of a large corporation suing an individual for deformation in Australia?.

Your claim that; "(Paul) has no problem defaming people or companies" IS WRONG, no person has been named by me, and as for the companies named, they cannot sue an individual, a legal fact. Your link to the two bob lawyers fizzed out, as there were no cases of this nature listed. As for the opinion from a "Ms Chan" at another mob of two bob lawyers, no mention of large corporations is made. When it comes to legal matters you are a real Dennis Denuto type! Its the vibe!

Paul,

Firstly, it is defamation not deformation.

Secondly, you did defame a company irrespective of whether they sue you or not,

Thirdly, as I showed a company can legally sue a person if there is reputational damage. Your lies about BHP probably boosted their reputation.

"Companies with fewer than 10 employees and certain not-for-profits can sue for defamation. (Larger companies can sue over untrue and damaging statements under the laws about misleading and deceptive conduct.)"

Suck it up, you lost.
