Talked to the lawyer. Said it would be quite hard to sue over what I heard, unless we can specifically prove that I've been hurt financially as a result and the people who he said these things to...
Thanks all. I have a meeting with my lawyer tomorrow, who's going to provide advice as to how we should proceed at no cost. I don't feel like investing any time, energy or money in to this, so we'll...

Hello All,
I'm in a fairly unique scenario. 11 months ago I went in to business with 2 of my friends and an acquaintance in a field that we were all very well versed in. One of the Partners had...
