PUBLICATION OF UNVERIFIED LEGAL PROCESS — FORMAL NOTICE OF DEFAMATION PER SE, FALSE LIGHT, PROFESSIONAL NEGLIGENCE,
RECKLESS DISREGARD FOR THE TRUTH, MALICIOUS PUBLICATION, ABUSE OF PROCESS, AND INVOICE FOR DAMAGES.
Background and Record Summary
The following summary records the basis on which the notice and damages demand were issued.
This is relating to the Notice Served in you on the 21 November 2025 in relation to alleged proceeding CIV2025-083-055. This publication has caused significant harm and constitutes Defamation Per Se, False Light
Publication, Professional Negligence, Malicious Publication, Negligent Misstatement, and Abuse of Process
facilitated through media distribution. You published an unverified legal notice without sighting a sealed
Statement of Claim, a court order for substituted service, verified authority, or indemnity insurance. Crown Law
has confirmed via OIA disclosures that no agency verifies authority, indemnity, or oversight of such processes.
Your publication therefore enabled an administrative fiction to masquerade as lawful judicial process. This
conduct breaches your duty of care, professional responsibility, and the legal standards required for publishing
legal notices;
Formal Demand for Disclosure
