The Concerns Notice is a prerequisite for an aggrieved party wishing to commence proceedings under the Defamation Act 2005 (Qld).
The Concerns Notice is the foundation for any defamation proceedings, and consequently, if the Concerns Notice does not meet the specific requirements under the Defamation Act 2005 (Qld) and is deficient or incorrectly served, then this could mean that any proceedings commenced by you could be struck out or dismissed and you could be liable for the publishers’ legal costs.
This is why it is imperative that the Concerns Notice is drafted and served in compliance with the Defamation Act 2005 (Qld).
