Defaming by stating facts
So what did David Paisley actually accuse Ceri Black of? Everything he could think of, it seems, some of it repeatedly.
Just one tiny sample:
Defaming Paisley by stating facts about his actions.
Defaming Paisley by reading out his own tweets.
Defaming Paisley by wishing him a happy Christmas, a soft pillow and a life full of love, as I wish for everybody.
Funny way to defame someone.
Causing significant “distress and anxiety” by reporting publicly that Paisley had reported me to the police.
Oh that’s a good one. Sparky takes a baseball bat to my knee, and I cause Sparky significant distress and anxiety by reporting publicly that Sparky took a baseball bat to my knee.
There’s much, much more.
The whole thing reads as absolutely demented. I can’t fathom why any firm of solicitors even entertained the bloke. He’s definitely unhinged. Perhaps they were scared of him? Or reckoned that he was wealthy enough (according to an entertainment site he’s worth a couple of million) that they could milk him for a lot of money before persuading him to drop the case?
