Pilot to sue BASSA & Certain Members
Heard today form a very reliable source, that a pilot who has been subject to alleged bullying, harrassment on the BASSA forum is about to launch a High Court action for substantial damages having politely asked on multiple occasions to have the posts deleted as in his opinion they were allegedly libellous and defamatory. The posts allegedly remain.
Allegedly, a certain infamous ex BASSA rep will be named and an injunction will be sought to reveal the names of numerous anonymous (pseudonym) posters who will also be sued.
As the costs to lauch such an action (without damages factored in) will possibly run above £75,000, with a QC involved, I hope that an amicable solution is found as the financial consequences for the respondants/defendants could be disastrous if they do not have deep pockets to defend such a case and if they lose......
I understand that the claimaint will be seeking punitive damages in the order of 'hundreds of thousands' of pounds - Ouchh !
