Thanks for the technical pointer on the law there bazza d2.

For the benefit of readers:
"Slander and libel are both types of defamation, which refers to statements that damage another person's reputation. While there are similarities, each focuses on different types of defamation strategy. The primary difference between slander and libel is that libel is the written or otherwise printed public defamation of a person or entity, while slander is the spoken defamation of a person or entity."

You are quite right. One is on record the other is not. A big problem for HC apparently.

Cheers,
