Greg, I am aware of this, deformation and slander are only a problem if you are exaggerating and have no evidence. I have evidence of Datspeed's poor workman ship, and so do the MVIRC (Motor Vehicle and Industry Repair Council). As I had to take it up with them because Barry would not take responsibily for his (poor) work, and then he was forced to.

Their law is very similar to ours (I believe). Either way, you can get done for deformation and slander in Australia as well, especially if you are just talking hearsay, and not known fact. Take your chances, but I would just be discrete about it, and direct email people if you want to go into a lot of detail and really shit on the buggers. regards Greg -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of Rhys McGhee Sent: Thursday, 21 February 2002 10:46 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Datsport and Wiring loom Gentlemen, Firstly to Barry from Datsport i'm sorry, i just queried if he was the same Barry as Datspeed who did the runner on several customers and suppliers after christmas. No harm intended to Datsport. Secondly as for the thread about the VW dealership taking a customer to court for defamation, not only is this a good PR excercise for the dealerships future, it also goes under the "only in America" file as over there you can practically sue people for giving you the flu. I hope the dealership claimed loss of income aswell as they are going to need it when the buying public finds out how the dealership treats its unhappy customers. Thirdly on a brighter note to Barry of the now defunct Datspeed what goes around comes around son.
