In this action, the Plaintiff, Mr. Johnoman Bellen is suing Fair Daily Newspapers Ltd for defamation based on an article they wrote entitled “Bellen’s Bad for Business“. In this article, Mr. Bellen, a world famous master dance instructor, was accused of charging his clients millions for ‘exclusive’ dance training while he was covertly working with their opponents at the same time. It was also mentioned that none of his clients had won any major competitions in the past 5 years.
D: The article accuses Bellen of taking money under false pretenses, this is immoral and could be illegal. The article also implies Bellen is incompetent, since his clients do not win any competitions. Overall, the statements (until proven true or otherwise defended) would cause the average person in Hong Kong to hold him in less regard.
I: Mr. Bellen is named in the article. He is identifiable.
P: The article is published on Fair Daily News, which has a circulation of 500,000 papers. In addition, this article was posted to its Facebook page, where it generated 800,000 views.
