Sydney Surgeon Wins $450k Payout After An Online Campaign To Destroy His Reputation
https://www.theguardian.comA scorned patient has been ordered to pay $450,000 for an “appalling and entirely unjustified and unjustifiable” negative internet campaign designed to destroy a Sydney plastic surgeon’s reputation, a judge has found.
A federal court judge on Wednesday said the effect of the false posts caused “extreme” damage to both the surgeon’s emotional and mental state and his prior “impeccable” reputation.
