Man to Pay £25,000 Damages over Negative TrustPilot Review
https://www.bbc.comA man who left a negative review of a legal firm on the TrustPilot website has been ordered to pay £25,000 ($34,000) in libel damages.
Philip James Waymouth engaged London law firm Summerfield Browne online to provide advice but was unsatisfied with the service he received. He then left a review accusing the firm of being “another scam solicitor”, according to court documents. The firm took legal action, stating that this was untrue and defamatory.
Other reviewers are now leaving TrustPilot reviews on the firm’s page, in an attempt to support Mr Waymouth.
