Business owners who have successfully defended defamation claims in court report that the constant threat of litigation is a significant source of stress. Retailers and insurance reform campaigners argue that the Defamation Bill 2024, scheduled for the Seanad tomorrow, does not sufficiently protect businesses. Campaigners are calling for specific amendments to strengthen protections, reduce litigation-related anxiety, and address insurance shortcomings. Concerns center on preventing misuse of defamation claims, providing clearer legal safeguards for small businesses, and ensuring insurance reforms that mitigate financial and emotional burdens associated with defending against defamation suits.
