This is a normal post I can back this up
as a journalist myself. At some point, I'm going to tell the rest of the media about a certain company who used a libel claim to attempt to avoid publicity for an appalling breach of environmental law. That will be fun.

This is a normal post I'm not sure how it's libel
if it really was a breach of environmental law?

This is a normal post Does it need to be libel...
... if you can have it removed without the matter straying anywhere near the inside of a court?

This is a normal post I suppose not
but the defence of 'This is true, here is the evidence' would surely help?

This is a normal post A company was convicted of breaking the law
Then moaned to the prosecuting authority that a press release it wrote was libelous - and got coverage of it pulled from more than one website. I can't really say any more at the moment.

This is a normal post this is because fasthosts are shit
and notorious for this, as well as taking money from your ccard quietly, then telling you some time later about your new non-refundable purchases they've made for you.

This is a normal post That Fasthosts would fold so quickly and spectacularly is a tribute to their shit-ness, but...
This happened mainly because the law allowed Schillings to step past the author of an article and instead threaten the company hosting his website (thereby allowing them to silence a critic of their client without any of that 'day in court' nonsense).

This is a normal post You'll find that happens largely regardless of the law anyway
If you don't pay enough, the user agreement allows it and the company's a bit hooky they'll drop you like a stone at the slightest whiff of any complaint.
