As far as defamation of character, you have simply described what happened and you have proof of everything you said. And there is something about going into court with "clean hands". Who defamed whom? She is the one who started bad mouthing you. The clean hands doctrine is a rule of law that someone bringing a lawsuit or motion and asking the court for equitable relief must be innocent of wrongdoing or unfair conduct relating to the subject matter of his/her claim. It is an affirmative defense that the defendant may claim the plaintiff has "unclean hands". Clean Hands Doctrine Law & Legal Definition |
this is a little known law that people need to be aware of.
