It is just that if you don't you could find yourself on the wrong side of a costs order.<BR/><BR/>Generally, the courts are very lenient to litigants-in-person who are rarely even aware of the protocols. They exist to control us litigation hungry leeches, erm, lawyers.<BR/><BR/>If there is anything in these fatuous threats, I imagine they are from members of the green ink brigade who would be unable to comprehend that courts have procedures, let alone that one is expected to follow them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-5774024629605935922007-08-31T14:11:00.000+01:002007-08-31T14:11:00.000+01:00This kind of thing needs to be published and highl...This kind of thing needs to be published and highlighted each time it happens.<BR/><BR/>This ConservativeHome item along with the Facebook fiasco last week needs to have the IP address of the troll published, and if necessary handed to the Police.<BR/><BR/>Political intimidation is out of order, and I think only shows that NuLab have nothing left to offer, except negative campaigning.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-91642712142870081972007-08-31T13:16:00.000+01:002007-08-31T13:16:00.000+01:00I suspect that it is a Labour supporter who is par...I suspect that it is a Labour supporter who is particularly rattled with the "fightback". It is a pity that such comments get posted, as one can most of Conservative Home's threads without having to be moderated. <BR/><BR/>I can understand why Iain Dale and some other bloggers moderate most of his threads, then.Mountjoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17385482147330173836noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22202011.post-34634176172372944192007-08-31T11:41:00.000+01:002007-08-31T11:41:00.000+01:00You can't just "serve papers" for defamation (unle...You can't just "serve papers" for defamation (unless you are going/have gone for an interim remedy - i.e. an injunction to have the offending statements removed temporarily) because you have to go through the pre-action protocol and give notice of an intent to take action and give the publisher a chance to correct/remove the alleged defamation. <BR/><BR/>The world of political blogs seems particularly highly populated by nutters who have a knowledge of the law gleaned from reading Charles Dickens.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
