Feature Story

April 2008

Criticising an elected representative is politics. Defaming him leads to liability…

A citizen cannot discredit the honesty of an elected representative, without proof, out of concern for the public good. A South Shore resident has recently learned this, at his own expense. The Superior Court has ordered him to pay $40,000 in damages for raising doubts about the reputation of his ex-mayor.
