Cosmetic surgeon’s defamation case backfires
The doctor's attempt to sue members of an online real estate chat group, who let fly when she posted a sneaky ad for her clinic, failed and left her liable for their legal costs
A doctor who rejected an offer of $65,000 to settle a defamation case is instead facing a hefty legal bill after the proceedings were thrown out of court.
The long-running legal battle began after the cosmetic surgeon became embroiled in an argument with members of an online real estate chat group over 24 hours in June 2016.
