Establish a Tort of Malicious Misrepresentation

Petition Details

In several recent elections politicians and news media have promoted misleading and inaccurate information to the general public on matters of public interest, denying them the right to make an informed decision on these matters, or have an informed opinion on matters of public interest in general.

Additional Information

We believe that a Tort of Malicious Misrepresentation would enable these individuals, bodies and organisations to be held accountable by a non governmental body such as a Jury with damages going to repair the damage through promotion of the accurate and true position.
