Tan Pei Pei [2018] 4 AMR 784
[Defamation – Circulation of email containing defamatory statement] Justin and Chooi Peng were the counsel for the Plaintiffs. This in a case involving an email circulated via the internet defaming the Plaintiffs. The Court finds that the statement in the email made by the Defendants was highly defamatory and that the Defendant had deliberately and intentionally calls out to public to widely circulate the email. The Court held that since it is practically impossible to prove that any third person read it, the Court will presume the email circulation over the internet is wide publication and the onus is on the Defendant to prove the limited publication as alleged. The Court held that the Defendant must be held accountable and awarded damages to the Plaintiffs.
