A woman who called an accountant "unprofessional, rude and obnoxious" in a Facebook review has won out in a defamation case, using the rarely-successful defence of honest opinion. As reviews of businesses take off on social media, the District Court of Western Australia was asked to consider whether a series of posts on a Facebook page by his client had defamed a local accountant. He sued for defamation over the posts. In her defence, the client pleaded that the statements were fair comment. The judge agreed.
