defamation requires a statement to lower the opinion of one person in the eyes of a standard member of the public.<br /> Telling the truth is an absolute defence against defamation, so unless this guy had nothing to do with the cameron house refurb then the councillor who named him has no case to answer. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14921#post-190261 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 14:49:11 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 190261@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>The original story: <a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/council-staff-investigated-over-dirty-tricks-1-3753254">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/council-staff-investigated-over-dirty-tricks-1-3753254</a> </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14921#post-190260 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 14:46:32 +0000 Murun Buchstansangur 190260@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Investigate the 3 councillors' conduct by all means, it will be interesting to see where it goes if anywhere, but anyone even slightly familiar with the Cameron House farrago must feel the council officials named deserve heavy scrutiny themselves... </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=14921#post-190246 Fri, 05 Jun 2015 13:01:40 +0000 chdot 190246@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>This is (a part of) Edinburgh that normally stays behind closed doors...</p> <p><a href="http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/three-tory-councillors-reported-to-standards-watchdog-1-3793599" rel="nofollow">http://www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/three-tory-councillors-reported-to-standards-watchdog-1-3793599</a> </p>
