    Surely the longer one leaves it to take action over a potentially defamation, the less likely it is to win an action?

    If the alleged defamation was damaging to ones reputation logically you would seek remedy at the earliest opportunity?

    Allowing a significant portion of time to elapse with the defamatory claim in the wild so to speak, could easily be argued to demonstrate that no real reputational damage was being incurred.

    Given its 2 years since you posted the original question, what would you hope to achieve in an action?

    1 year, with the possibility of an extension of another year on application to the court. Many people have been refused after the year.
