Screen Australia to appear in court to defend James Ricketson allegations
James Ricketson
Screen Australia's Ruth Harley
Screen Australia has filed a formal defence to allegations by veteran film-maker James Ricketson that he has been defamed.
According to the legal document filed at the Supreme Court of NSW, Screen Australia CEO Ruth Harley and COO Fiona Cameron will appear to defend the claims.
According to Ricketson’s claims, Screen Australia has not provided a good enough reason from banning him from talking to the funding body.
How can you defame someone if it’s a private letter?
I was cheered to read that ‘Screen Australia (is) to appear in court to defend James Ricketson allegations’, until I read further and understood that it was to defend AGAINST his allegations. Who writes your copy?
