While discovering interesting facts such as the fact that the state motto of the American State of Kentucky is “United we stand, Divided we fall” it is inevitable that in a blog of this type we miss an article, a development or something of general interest……and it has happened again!
Millnet is pleased to be associated with Chris Dale’s e-Disclosure Information Project and it is to one of his posts which I turn as I missed the case of Patel v Unite the Union.
In the course of an action for defamation in respect of comments posted on an internet forum owned and operated by the Unite union, but where the union claimed that the forum had been deleted and it could not identify those who had made the postings, Mr Patel persuaded His Honour Judge Richard Parkes QC, sitting as a Judge of the High Court, to grant an order against the union requiring it to make a reasonable search for information and to serve a witness statement.
