Defamation Bill 2006: Committee Stage (Resumed)
3:00 pm
Frank Fahey (Galway West, Fianna Fail)
If one seeks damages one should apply for a standard defamation order. It is up to the courts to grant a declaratory order and the courts must decide that the defendant has no defence. The defendant may be able to offer a defence. The issue of compensation is a separate matter.
