About
Neil – Christian Business Vandalised
Neil* is the owner of a surf shop that raises funds for Christian ministry efforts to help the poor and needy. A journalist wrote an article in the local paper alleging that a t-shirt he was selling displayed homophobic hate-speech. The t-shirt read, “Love is a Choice”. Neil has received many abusive phone calls and his surf shop was repeatedly vandalised due to the article.
On top of the stress of having to navigate his business through a period of intensely negative publicity, this ordeal caused understandable frustration and mental anguish for Neil personally, given the torrents of abusive phone calls and repeated vandalism of his business.
Eventually, with HRLA’s help, a confidential settlement was reached.
*Clients have been de-identified where settlements were confidential, where issues are sensitive, where requested or where the matter is currently before the Courts.
