I assume the court documents are available, why not find them and see for yourself rather than seeking other peoples' opinions? Also, this seems like a pretty clear defamation case. An employer calling a former employee dishonest without any evidence to back that up is defamation.

Wasn't the judge's statement clear? "“callous defamation of a vulnerable young man”... “The plaintiff’s character was seriously impugned … his reputation suffered damage, both directly in the eyes of the recipients and by reason of the grapevine effect,” the judgment said. “The group to which the defendant chose to send the emails was vital to the plaintiff’s advancement in his chosen career.”"

I'm flagging this as "primarily opinion-based" because it seems more like an effort to start a discussion than an actual question. In either case, it seems perfectly clear why this is wrong, so I'm not even sure exactly what you're asking about.

It appears that the judge in this case did not believe the comments made by the defendant were true. If they had simply stated that the victim was no longer with the firm and not stated any reasons why, they would have probably not had to pay over $200,000.

Yes there was a similar question but it seems to have been deleted. I am sure that the German company with its HQ in the netherlands has done the right thing and confessed to the person that was let go around Christmas time about whom deregoratory emails were being distributed, before removing the posts...
