Thank you for providing the details. Here's some general guidance:
- A "concerns notice" is often the first step in a defamation claim under Australian law (if you're in Australia). However, for it to be valid, it must clearly outline the defamatory material and the harm caused.
- If the notice is not signed by a lawyer or lacks proper authorization (e.g., signed by all owners without their approval), it may not hold legal weight.
- Evidence submitted to a tribunal or council, especially with faces obstructed, may be protected under "qualified privilege," which can defend against defamation claims.
Could you confirm your location so I can provide more specific information?
