Defamation Website Take Down Notice

Defamation Website Take Down Notice

£10.00

  • This is to be used on occasions where Company A discovers that Company B is operating a website that includes a statement that is defamatory or untrue i.e. an untrue statement that casts Company A in a negative light.
  • This notice should be sent to Company B before any litigation starts and should be sent as a warning asking them to take the offending statement down from their website prior to any litigation proceedings being started.

Description

You should consider the following:

  • Who is the notice being served on? The legal department (for larger companies where service on the legal department is likely to have swifter results), the directors/Company Secretary (for smaller companies) or a specified individual (sole trader or partnerships)
  • The offending statement – what is it? Is it untrue?
  • What has the impact been on Company A’s business?
  • Defamation actions can be costly so it is in most cases advisable to informally negotiate between parties before sending official formal notices such as this. Use our Request-a-Quote option if you require legal support with this.
