I’d be risking ending up in court myself if I said too much. The options you suggest were not available for a number of reasons. That’s all I can say. I have written and rewritten this many times over but the people involved suffered two years of extreme stress – even though they did nothing wrong – and I really can’t say any more, as much as I’d love to tell their story. That’s the real weakness in defamation law in this country – being right is not enough. You have to be right and rich. Forget not being able to afford to lose, sometimes you can’t afford to win. And that’s why I was cautioning people to be careful of what they write about other owners.
