The court held Paragraph 2, read in the context of the Proposal, was not defamatory because its natural and ordinary meaning was to show the Defendant's lack of conflict and suitability as liquidator rather than to impugn the Plaintiff's competence; further, disclosure of the negative due diligence recommendation did not breach confidence because the Plaintiff had effectively waived confidentiality by alleging a conflict to the creditors and the disclosure was necessary and reasonable to rebut that allegation; therefore the Plaintiff's claims failed.
