My understanding is that you cannot defame a corporation.
In 2006, in response to pressure from the Federal Government, the states have introduced 'uniform' defamation laws.
The changes prevent most corporations from suing for defamation; however, non-profit corporations and corporations with less than 10 employees that are not public body corporations are allowed to sue for defamation.
As I understand it, a number of AMH people work part-time, thus the AMH may have less than 10 full-time employees. See:
