<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 227490, member: 669&quot;]That is the most ridiculous statement you have ever made on this forum!</p><p><br /></p><p>No one has yet invented a method to prevent frivolous lawsuits from being filed, let alone those that might go either way.</p><p><br /></p><p>The expense of proving in a court of law that someone is a &quot;genuine scammer&quot;, even if true, could easily prove to be financially ruinous.</p><p><br /></p><p>In courts of the United States (state or federal), one who successfully defends against&nbsp; a defamation claim <u>does not</u> recover his/her attorney fees and other litigation expenses; and one who wants to file such a claim need not pay his/her own attorney upfront, relying instead on a contingent fee.&nbsp; I&#039;m guessing that New Zealand follows the very different practices prevalent in the United Kingdom and other members of the Commonwealth of Nations, prohibiting contingent fees and requiring the loser to pay the winner&#039;s attorney fees in most litigation. </p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, being a part time coin store employee in New Zealand does not qualify you as an expert entitled to testify in a US court whether someone is, or is not, a &quot;genuine&quot; scammer&quot;; and it certainly does not make your opinion controlling on a US court.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is not the first time you have made absolutely incorrect statements about US law, and the time has come to cut it out!&nbsp; Please do not write a Wikipedia article on US defamation law and then cite it as proof that your knowledge is greater than mine in an area I have studied and worked in since long before you were born.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
