Legally it goes from bad to worse for the great Cameron Slater. Last week he was discharged without conviction for attempting to pay for a hack of the Standard while using name suppression – something Slater has always raged against.
Now his longest running court case, his defamation case against Matthew Blomfield, has stepped up a gear. After appealing every part of the process, Cameron has finally given up on his appeal process…
…it is going to be near impossible to argue that there was any news worth in attacking Blomfield and Slater meeting business associates of Blomfield’s and plotting to destroy him doesn’t help either.
I think Cam is going to be in some trouble here, and he still has the Colin Craig defamation case to fight.
It’s terrible watching his implosion.
Is it, is it really?
lol…that is a terrible picture, even although the poor whale is dead and beached
…what an evocative end for mr whaleoil though

You can tell it’s not NZ. The jaw is still there.
Well that being the case Blomfield will have to progress the case in the High Court. And he was told by Asher sometime the appeal did not stop him progressing the case. Given the case could run weeks I bet Blomfield has a substantial sum to pay to the Court to advance his case. Slaters small payments will be nothing on what is required to have a go here.
It would take The Standard and Daily Blog the best part of a day to crowdfund the necessary security for costs for Blomfeld. Slater doesn’t even have a lawyer so how could his costs even be that large?
Crowdfund for Blomfield’s legal fund? Count us in for a couple of hundred bucks.
What a pathetic farce.
