In order to prove defamation, you have to prove that what was said or written about you was false. However, you may bring an action for libel or slander if the comments are so reprehensible and false that they affect your reputation in the community or cast aspersions on you. Consult your law book kid
Couple of points there Rumpole....
1. It's true. He did laugh. Within reason, you can say what you like if it's true. That's how this stuff works.
2. That allegation won't affect his reputation in the community or cast aspersions.
3. It would be the weakest case in English legal history.
I repeat what I said earlier. I saw Matt King laughing on Saturday night. It was in Warrington at around 745pm.
In any event, if anyone is going to get in trouble with the law it's King himself - he's been impersonating a top Rugby League player for the last year.
