The first step in a claim for defamation is the preparation of a concerns notice. Very few concerns notices end up in legal proceedings being commenced. The reason for this is simple, proceedings for defamation are costly. Awards for defamation are notoriously low and there is often a gap between the amount of damages awarded and the legal costs incurred.
