Defamation - your help

[superlightr]

I am being accused of verbal defamation against somone about 2 and half years ago. Is there a time limit on bringing this sort of case?

I understand its a complicated issue with various defences ie the truth, no loss etc but am unsure over a time limit which I think may be 12 months.

I said something to another person who suposidly made a note I what i said who then said added their own views and made comments to other people. As far as I can remember I only said the truth but do not wish to get into a long defence when the matter may be hit on the head if there is a time limit. ( its about the suitablility of a tenant)

Your help would be appreciated.

Super, Fantastic - I love you all! Thanks for the help. Very kind.

I will update when I get a reply for written details of what Im alleged to have done, when and to who. Ive had a verbal talk with this person a few weeks ago which was vauge to say the lease and rather me dropping myself in it, I will get him to formall put the allogations.

I think he trying it on with the hope of getting preofessional indemnity insurance to pay out, but I dont have pro indemity for that period of time.

Thanks again for the help. Hopefully can hit this on the head early.

10/10 and gold stars all round.

Thanks turbobloke.

This is still plodding on. I have asked for the preaction protocol to be followed by the claimant. He is being very vauge, and not actually answering my basic questions of what was untrue, to who and when.

Should know a bit more next week.

Thanks for the help and pointers.

ps do you know how much it costs to start this action?
