What would be the basis for a civil case? The only one I
can think of is that she may cause a bad effect on the
revenue from ticket sales to the Games by spreading lies,
but that would be a tough one to prove in court.
Steve,
How about misconduct in office at common law. As a member of the
Firearms Consultative Committee she is a Crown Servant, I would argue, and
therefore is bound by the Bill of Rights.
Regards, John Hurst.

I think it's a bit of stretch to say a member of the FCC is a Crown
Servant. Plus what does "misconduct in office" constitute?
The only certain way I think would be if she picked out a specific
group of people, if she said for example that the Commonwealth Games
GB pistol team poses a threat to public safety that might be
construed as slander, as that is a small group of identified people.
I very nearly sued Anne Pearston for what she said about Cybershooters
way back when but on legal advice it was hard to make a case because
I don't make any money out of Cybershooters so it is hard to make
a claim for damages, because I haven't been finanically impacted.
I could have sued Tony Hill if I'd been minded to, but the guy hasn't
got any money and it seemed a bit pointless.
If anyone comes across Gill Marshall-Andrews making some silly
comment about someone specific, let me know.
Steve.
