看了这贴 我只想问删帖的小助手, 为什么非要求有证据才可以发那帖子?
下面写的很清楚 可以是honest opinion 而且既然有reaa的decision已经可以说是truth了
再来 11条 11 Defendant not required to prove truth of every statement of fact 写的也很清楚 不需要有十足的证据,那么你这里的根据是律师信 而律师信的根据是Defamation 那么自然要refer Defamation Act 既然act里说不需要证据 那么你要证据的根据是哪里来
Part 2
Defences
Truth
8 Truth
(1) In proceedings for defamation, the defence known before the commencement of this Act as the defence of justification shall, after the commencement of this Act, be known as the defence of truth.
(2) In proceedings for defamation based on only some of the matter contained in a publication, the defendant may allege and prove any facts contained in the whole of the publication.
(3) In proceedings for defamation, a defence of truth shall succeed if—
(a) the defendant proves that the imputations contained in the matter that is the subject of the proceedings were true, or not materially different from the truth; or
(b) where the proceedings are based on all or any of the matter contained in a publication, the defendant proves that the publication taken as a whole was in substance true, or was in substance not materially different from the truth.
Compare: 1954 No 46 s 7
Honest opinion
9 Honest opinion
In proceedings for defamation, the defence known before the commencement of this Act as the defence of fair comment shall, after the commencement of this Act, be known as the defence of honest opinion.
10 Opinion must be genuine
(1) In any proceedings for defamation in respect of matter that includes or consists of an expression of opinion, a defence of honest opinion by a defendant who is the author of the matter containing the opinion shall fail unless the defendant proves that the opinion expressed was the defendant's genuine opinion.
(2) In any proceedings for defamation in respect of matter that includes or consists of an expression of opinion, a defence of honest opinion by a defendant who is not the author of the matter containing the opinion shall fail unless,—
(a) where the author of the matter containing the opinion was, at the time of the publication of that matter, an employee or agent of the defendant, the defendant proves that—
(i) the opinion, in its context and in the circumstances of the publication of the matter that is the subject of the proceedings, did not purport to be the opinion of the defendant; and
(ii) the defendant believed that the opinion was the genuine opinion of the author of the matter containing the opinion:
(b) where the author of the matter containing the opinion was not an employee or agent of the defendant at the time of the publication of that matter, the defendant proves that—
(i) the opinion, in its context and in the circumstances of the publication of the matter that is the subject of the proceedings, did not purport to be the opinion of the defendant or of any employee or agent of the defendant; and
(ii) the defendant had no reasonable cause to believe that the opinion was not the genuine opinion of the author of the matter containing the opinion.
(3) A defence of honest opinion shall not fail because the defendant was motivated by malice.
11 Defendant not required to prove truth of every statement of fact
In proceedings for defamation in respect of matter that consists partly of statements of fact and partly of statements of opinion, a defence of honest opinion shall not fail merely because the defendant does not prove the truth of every statement of fact if the opinion is shown to be genuine opinion having regard to—
(a) those facts (being facts that are alleged or referred to in the publication containing the matter that is the subject of the proceedings) that are proved to be true, or not materially different from the truth; or
(b) any other facts that were generally known at the time of the publication and are proved to be true.
Compare: 1954 No 46 s 8
12 Honest opinion where corrupt motive attributed to plaintiff
In any proceedings for defamation in which the defendant relies on a defence of honest opinion, the fact that the matter that is the subject of the proceedings attributes a dishonourable, corrupt, or base motive to the plaintiff does not require the defendant to prove anything that the defendant would not be required to prove if the matter did not attribute any such motive. |
