Forum administrators this is the email I have sent Olive man I think you should stop him in his tracks

Oliveman.

I don't know who you are but take note and be warned if you continue your libelous statements on the cyprus44 forum I will instigate proceedings against you either in the TRNC or if you are posting from the UK I will start proceedings there. I will employ an investigator to find your real name and address.

You do not know me, you have never seen the car I have for sale, let alone checked the engine to make such statments and accusations that it has a problem with the cylinder head and that I sell problem cars .

I will post this email on the forum and ask the admin to ban you forthwith now they are aware of your libelous statements.

I Think you are a serious mischief maker as I do not believe you have a 2008 ford fusion for sale for that price as it costs £4000 for customs duty and another 1000 TL for registration and road tax plus 35 TL for No plates

Don't want to put the spanner in the works, but all this threatening to sue etc, you are on a hiding for nothing..



The lawyers will take you on and take your money, it has to be proven that a silly post on a forum has been detrimental to your business...



Most cases are just a lot of huffing and puffing and for those with very deep pockets to pursue such a claim...



Go to court and it will drag on for years ... Especially in NC, in GB it is just as bad.......

dizzycows defamation laws work differently everywhere but to take the UK as an example and using wikipedia as source, which of course is not definative.



"English law allows actions for libel to be brought in the High Court for any published statements alleged to defame a named or identifiable individual or individuals in a manner that causes them loss in their trade or profession, or causes a reasonable person to think worse of them."



So you do not have to prove that alledged defamation has been detrimental to your business. It is still defamation if it "causes a reasonable person to think worse of " you. Of course damages should you win will relate to how much damage is deemed to have ben done, but people who take out lible actions a rarely concerned with money and more often with justice.

Magicart many people misunderstand what defamation is and is not. Again it varies from country to country but in most, statements of opinion are not defamation and statements of fact are. So saying



"I believe or I suspect posterA masqueraded as posterB in order to do a hatchet job on personC or companyC" is not defamation, as it is an opinion. Where as saying



"PosterA masqueraded as posterB to in order to do a hatchet job on personC" is defamation if it is not true and if the claim if beleived would cause a reasonable person to think worse of personA as a result.

philbailey the person who controls an account is primarily responsible for the use of that account. You are right in some cases it can be next to impossible to establish beyond resonable doubt who is the person who controls an account but in others cases it it not hard to do so. A defense could be made on the basis that the person who controls the account claims that they did not make the specific alledged defamatory post, but the creedance of such a claim would depend on how they behaved since the post was made. Did they report their account as compromised ? Did they post saying 'it was posted from my account but in fact it was not me that made the post'? Did they contact the forum owners and say 'I did not make post x'. Or did they simply do nothing at the time and continue to post from the account themselves afterwards and only make the claim that 'it wasnt me guv' as a response to action ?

I doubt it philbailey. You still have a responsibility as the person who registered and controls the account. If you allow it to be used so other can defame people from it, then you are liable as well by allowing it use for such things. If it is hacked and it use by other was without your knowledge and without your consent, then that may well be a defense but you will need to show evidence of that being the case, like you reporting to the forum admins that someone has been using your account without your knowledge and permission. To claim it after the fact and without being able to show you did anything about the account you control being used by others without your permission would I think be a very weak defense.

Simbas just got in but I gather you have allready been given the info but to reiterate it was from a posting I put on the cars for sale page ford fusion for sale .I gather this member oliveman has a number of names for posting on C44

Thanks for looking into this matter.

Dizzy cows you may be well intentioned but I for one have no fear of the court process having been in bussines since I was 17 and have now reached 62 nearly I will not allow people like this oliveman make unfounded alegations, and incidentally the starting of the court process is reasonably easy inthe UK if we all stuck our heads in the sand then it encourages these people to keep spouting their garbage.

Thanks to everyone else for their positive input

One huge problem is that those who like to be abusive and are deserving of facing a court usually do not have a pot to piss in (or are a man of straw as the law sees it). The most likely outcome of shaking hands with a lawyer anywhere in the world is that you end up skint as well as having been abused.

deputydawg personaly I think some of those that have defamed people on forums like this, who are temporary residents in north cyprus, need to consider the risk of being found guilty of such a thing by a court here and how such a judgment might impact on their residency renewal. It is not just about potential monetary loss I would suggest.

Erolz, I agree that these tortfeasors should consider the consequences of their actions but court/police action to deport them is hardly likely to do anything to get massive process costs paid unless they are wealthy.

deputydawg I hear what you are saying, however having watched an interesting TV series on libel cases recently one thing that came through again and again was that for most of the people bringing such cases, money just was not the motivation. In case after case it was clear that even if they were to win they would still be out of pocket and yet they still persued such cases. Many did in the end settle , when offered a retraction and in most cases some partial covering of their costs, but the reason why they started the cases and persued them until either court or settlement was not about securing money, even to cover the cost of the case, but about fighting for what is 'right'.

As the question to ErolZ is about me, 'allow me' to remind you that :



1/ I wasn't alone in spotting what was blooming obvious..



2/ The member concerned has actually started a thread suggesting ErolZ was in biz with another known member and took monies, commercially and failed to 'deliver' ...



You appear to be 'selectively' blind...

Magicart msg33 in my view your example is not as clear cut as my earlier hypothticial one for a number of reasons. It would come down to , as so many such cases do, to definitions and particularly the word 'fictional' and then 'supporters' (rather than customers). Without the word 'fictional' there is no potential defamation there at all that I can see. So you would end up arguing what a 'fictional supporter' actualy was. Would asking somone who has never posted on the forum before to come and support you on it with a post be a 'fictional supporter'? I do not know. Of course the whole thing is defined by if it is true or not.



MM - someone else having said or suggested something as well as you is not a defense for defamation. If you state something as fact, rather than quote someone else as having said it, and its not true and it gives a negative image of the subject its defamation.

Nor does 'suggesting' something constitute defamation in most countries - that would be opinion.

Erolz,



I entirely agree with you-I think the key word here is "fictional" which would imply there being no truth in some of the supportive postings.I would therefore suggest this to be libilous.



Another interesting one!



"He won't know the truth until it bites him."....libilous or not?



This could be taken as a statement of fact which of course only a idiot would imply.



Thanks

Yes art it comes dwon to fictional. If for example it could be shown that any of the posters who supported in the given thread were not customers then I think fictional would be ture but its all arguable and the more so the more money to laywers. Some defamations are clear cut and others are not.



'He won't know the truth until it bites him' is to me clearly not a libelous statement, nor is it a statement that if beleived would make the believer think less of the subject in my view.

Fawkes/Erolz,



Very interesting and informative debate.!!



Hopefully some members will take note and be a lot more responsible before "shooting from the hip" with vindictive comments which could well end up being libilous. .I also think the administrators have a legal responsiblity to ensure that postings which are designed to hurt or discredit other members should be removed without notice and the originator banned for life.



Thanks

I know it is hard when people knowingly lie about you, but really, you know the truth, your friends know the truth so unless it is outrageous, the only people who will profit from legal action for Libel, are the penguins.



Just take comfort from the fact that the teller of the 'untruth' is a sad loser anyway with little or no life to speak of. Tell them you feel sorry for them, that will make them apoplectic. Even better, tell them you forgive them.



This is just a general observation and not about any specifie example.

philbailey there is nothing illegal in someone being rude to you or about you. It is illegal to state as fact in public something about another person that is not true and that if believed would make the believer think less of said person. There is a reason why there are such laws, that have existed and evolved over many hunderds of years. You may think doing nothing about lawbreaking is the right thing to do, because it may cost you time or effort or money to do something about it. Not everyone shares this view though I would suggest. If someone breaks the law and nothing is done about it they will most likely continue to do it again and again to more than one person. Some times taking a stand againt such illegal behaviour is the right and necessary thing to do in my view.

Fawkes I am not personaly a believer in the idea that two wrongs make a right. I do not directly control the government and thus am not personally accounatable for their actions. I do control myself and thus am personaly accountable for my own actions and I believe others indivduals are too.



As for the issue of human rights in the TRNC, the TRNC is held accoutable for its actions in regards to human rights, by the ECHR, as an 'agent' of Turkey. This is well established by many precedents.

message 46 - is he still trading?



I could have sued Akan Kursat for the lies he told about me in Kibris Gazetesi August 2010 and the paper for printing them.



I could have sued Havadis for the lies they allowed to be printed about me (remember the 2 villas with pools in the south)



At least someone on this forum came out and asked me if what he had been told about my selling my K5 villa for £220,000 prior to the auction was true? But there again someone was telling lies about me.



Even recently someone put on here I had had money from my property on K5 so I was okay.



All lies, of course it makes you angry, your stress level goes through the roof, then they are winning, so now

I just tell the truth when I get the chance to. I know the truth, my friends and family know the truth, beyond that it is pointless to worry. Litigation is for the well heeled and then there is no certainty it will ever be worth it.

Actually philbailey I did live in the south from 93 to 98 had a villa (bought in 1986), no pool, sold it in 98 moved to UK, just could not settle, looked around Spain, Portugal, Italy, Croatia, never ever thought about N Cyprus, came on holiday, fell for the way of like, like the south in the late 80's, like everyone else, assured there was no longer a problem buying here, bought through the legaL channels, the rest as they say, is history. No I never owned 2 villas with pools in the south, although the writer implied ownership now.

(I wish) could do with the money. Perhaps you missed the article I wrote explaining this on NCFP.



Still they will have to shoot me to shut me up.

Yes



The most known about case was alledged libel by Avrupa newspaper again R Denktash. The paper was found guilty of libel and closed as a result. It reopened under the name Afrika. This is not the only case, just one of the most known.



Yes there are public liability laws in the TRNC.

@ msg 58, Erolz: (...) Yes there are public liability laws in the TRNC. (...)



▶ Erolz, you are right again. My lawyer in Lefkoşa has explained to me that any expat in TRNC with temporary residency or a tourist visa and with or without property in TRNC can be sued (for libel/slander) in TRNC. And it won't take three years and it won't be expensive to do it.



Very interesting also a couple of very recent cases of libel on Twitter (thank you Mrs. T. for informing me) - where the UK judges didn't hesitate to see and value the truth.



Have a look here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-eRE

And: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-south-east-wales-12704955



Don't think you can say whatever you want on a TRNC Bulletin Board and remain unpunished - whether the board is based in TRNC or the UK.

Boysan Boyra, but the outcome is still to revealed. Also his assistant. Both allegedly charged with Libel by Akfinans.



I think they allegedly called them something dishonest in a newspaper, can you imagine - a bank allegedly dishonest, couldn't make it up could you.



I think a certain newspaper owner issued a Libel writ against a certain lady for a million pounds, but she apologised so it was dropped and I understand they are now the best of friends.



That's all I can think of Gerry.

Libel laws and action help give protection to the little people who are bullied by others who think they can just say and do what they like.The arrogance of these people is sometimes beyond belief.

Oh my oh my. Another thread with lots of armchair lawyers,great reading,but it is about time folk are a little more careful what they type regarding people or businesses home & away,have a little more compassion,no need to attack folk or a business,say your bit if need be and its affected you and move on,not repeated attacks every few days or even daily,it really could push the wrong person over the edge!

Its nice to be nice.



But i may get slated for this,in a ideal world you should be able to meet the accuser in a octagon and sort it out may the best man be correct

msg. 57. "Has anyone EVER been charged with Libel here in the TRNC? "

msg.63: "Boysan Boyra, but the outcome is still to revealed. Also his assistant. Both allegedly charged with Libel by Akfinans."



Yes, one developer sued a couple for libel and slander with the main aim to gag them and stop their criticisms. They failed to obtain an injunction. Naturally it backfired on them because what they wrote was absoluıtely true. Two years on and they are shying away from a trial, so the writing is on the wall that they will have to withdraw their case and also pay for costs.

Alleged libel is only libel if it is untrue.

and A public forum ( this one )



there are differing presidents on all 3 any one wishing to sue for deformation and libel an Winning is a different thing altogether especially when what is posted is ▶ true in full or in part .
