A man’s fight to have a defamatory post removed from an international website has been heard in the High Court in Auckland this morning.The man’s case is a first according to his lawyer, Matthew McClelland, who said “the liability of an Internet Service Provider (ISP) is still at large in New Zealand”.”It’s a novel question.”He told the court the case focuses on three key questions.What is Google New Zealand’s responsibility, is Google a publisher and does the innocent dissemination of defamatory material defence apply?
