Slander & Libel
Injury to your reputation as a result of libel or slander can be very significant. Andrew Kinnison and Sam Cook regularly advise upon and handle claims seeking damages for defamation and injunctions to prevent the publication of falsehoods.
Recent examples of our work include:

• |
Successfully defending a claim brought against an employer alleged to have defamed an employee within an employment reference; and |
• |
Recovering damages from a senior member of the judiciary and his wife for defaming our client by alleging improper conduct in relation to an application for planning permission. |
