A real estate agent was sentenced to prison for committing real estate fraud. After he served his prison sentence, he moved back to his home town and opened a real estate practice. His fellow real-estate agents werent happy to see him back. One agent took out an ad in the local newspaper saying that he (the writer) was an honest real estate agent unlike the cheating, lying, fraudulent real estate broker who served time in prison for real estate fraud and then had come back to town and started his new real estate agency.
The former prison convict/real estate agent did not like this one bit. He sued the agent who had written the ad for the tort of defamation. What defence does the Defendant real estate agent (the one who took out the ad) have against the former convicts defamation action?
