Does anybody know if truth is an absolute defense against defamation lawsuits in New Zealand? From what I can determine, it is a defense but not an absolute one. It seems a public interest defense is also possible in New Zealand, but only since 2018 when that precedent was set.
- itronitron 4y agoI've read that 'honest opinion' is a defense in NZ so presumably if the toy company finds out the negative review is from an actual former employee then they will either stop pursuing it or just take legal action from China.
