The High Court allowed a defamation appeal, finding the respondent’s words about the appellant were published publicly and harmed his reputation.
The appellant's statements regarding the paternity of the respondent's child were defamatory, were published to third parties, and caused injury to the respondent's reputation. The trial court correctly found for the respondent on liability, but the general damages awarded were excessive given the narrow extent of publication and lack of demonstrated wider reputational harm. General damages were reduced accordingly.
Source excerpt
The High Court found only the fourth defendant liable for defamation after a public statement about the plaintiff's alleged paternity and child abandonment.
