On 15 September 2011, Channel 7 broadcast a series of defamatory statements about our services on their Sunrise program. During this program segment, the presenter made a series of defamatory statements about our www.australia-mining.com website. These false allegations caused serious damage to the reputation of Haldeman LLC.
On 16 September 2011, Haldeman LLC instructed our Perth lawyers to initiate defamation action against the Seven Network for the defamatory material broadcast and published on the Yahoo7! website. Additionally, Haldeman LLC demanded that Channel Seven retract all allegations publicly and remove the program segment from the Yahoo7! website.
While Seven Network promptly removed all defamatory material from the Yahoo7! website, they did not publicly retract their previous statements as requested. On 5 October 2011 defamation proceedings were filed in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against Seven Network. In the Writ of Summons available here, Haldeman LLC is claiming for, “damages for defamation, including damages together with interest on such damages from 15 September 2011,” including costs. Litigation is ongoing against Seven Network.
