You can sue him for harassment in the case when he wrote to your head-office. Even if you were in default on your loan, he had no right to write to your place of work. You can sue him for this incident. You will need to have a copy of that letter, and show the exact damage it had done to you. \n   You can not sue him for all the other incidents.

Maybe but I doubt it......defamation would take more and continuing attacks on your character from the manager to really end up being defamation.  I think you have to be able to prove you are somehow harmed in your everyday life...to be truly defamed.

If this person used your real name and/or address, and said malicious untrue things about you, I think you have a pretty good case for defamation (libel). \nI say, go for it.\n\nRead this article for more information:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Libel

YOU CAN SUE FOR ANYTHING, BAR NONE! However, if you can show there is no good reason for their untrue and negative written statement about you they shared with another party, then you have good grounds for a liable suit. Further, if you can show you have suffered injury or damages as a result, then you have a very strong case. \n\nWARNING: The courts are secretly biased towards corporations and lawyers/barristers will only take you for your money. If you want to persue this I would do it myself or retain on a strict contingency basis only.

Fraud, forgery and theft come to mind. Yes you can sue him civilly, but he can also be criminally charged as well and ordered to pay restitution.

It depends in what state you are in.\nHere in Mass you can get a restraining order for someone that is stalking you. And it also depends on what kind of defamation. - Certain kinds of defamation can only be gone after in civil court.

I come from a law background and I can tell you that if they have said personal things about you for example slander then yes. If its just hear say then no. If you have written proof that, that person has done or said it then you have a case. The only problem then is proving that, person actually written it about you. But that shouldn't be a problem.\n\nAll I can suggest is taking legal advice as they will be able to go into greater detail and explain what you can and can't do.

If the person is saying the things in some sort of public forum, you could sue for libel/slander, but if the person has merely filed charges with the police, the charges and any statements made to the police are given absolute privelege. If the DA proceeds with the charges, knowing that they are substantially untrue, you could sue them for malicious prosecution, but that's pretty hard to prove and probably wouldn't be worth it.

To start with this would not be slander, it would be libel.\n\nNo, because you are the recipiant and the allegation is made to you.\n\nIf, however, the other person has been telling other people about it (verbally) then it may possibly be slander unless it can be shown that the allegation is true. \n\nThere are a few other legalities but I will not bore you with the details.\n\nI think the theft of company funds is a more important issue, I am surprised that you have not contacted the police already.\n\nYour reference to the Protection from Harrassment Act need not cause you any concern as you are investigating an allegation as an appointed officer of your company, which you have to do as part of your duty of care to the company.\n\nDon't bother with the libel action at this time, concentrate on the stolen funds.\n\nThe harrassment allegation seems to be simply a tool to try to stop your investigation. Ignore it, you are acting within the law.\n\nI strongly urge you to report this to the police and let them do their job.\n\nHope this helps

Sue him for damages in civil court

SLANDER is spoken word.\n\nYou mean to ask if it is LIBEL (written word).\n\nThat depends on what you said, and whether they can prove damages.  Publicly writing some things (in most states) that are very bad automatically proves the defamation, including allegations of criminal conduct, infidelity, things harmful to a person's job, and allegations of really bad diseases (known as "defamation per se").\n  \nStill, the accuser would have to prove the damages AND file the lawsuit....so even if they were willing to pay a lawyer and court fees, if they couldn't prove who saw it, and it is no longer there to be seen, it would be tough to prove any substantial damages.

First, you have to decide if this situation is really worth the waste of your time and energy.  Do you really care what this person is saying about you?  If so, and what they are saying is truly slanderous, get a lawyer and sue them.\n\nIf you take the low road and decided to give this person a piece of your mind, its not like they can just throw a restraining order on you.  They must seek the restraining order through the courts.  There will be a hearing during which both of you get to explain your version of events to a judge.  Only if the judge agrees with the other person's story will the restraining order go into place.\n\nOnce in place, if you violate whatever terms are imposed as a part of the restraining order you get to go to jail.  PC 166(a)(4) is the law violation relating to violating a court order if you want to read more.

Do you realize that posting a perons name and making accusations like you did, is illegal. If this person were to find out you have done this, he would be very smart to initiate a law suit against you. You might want to consider taking his name out, and maybe not worrying so much about the sexual orientaion of your co-workers.
