FAAIZ Law acts for individuals and businesses whose reputation, enjoyment of property or peace has been harmed by the wrongful conduct of others. Our practice covers both defamation, which protects a person's good name and reputation, and the law of nuisance, which protects the right to use and enjoy property without unreasonable interference.
In defamation matters, we advise on claims arising from libel and slander, including false statements made in print, online, on social media or in person. We act for clients seeking to clear their name and recover damages, as well as for those defending against defamation claims. We also assist with letters of demand, retractions and apologies where these can resolve a dispute quickly.
In nuisance matters, we represent clients affected by issues such as noise, fumes, encroachment, water seepage, obstruction or other interference with the use of their property. We pursue remedies including injunctions to stop the interference and compensation for the loss suffered.
