During a property dispute I was required to call police to prevent illegal removal of estate trees. Two female officers attended and while there the other party made completely false and defamatory representations to the the officers. I informed the officers of such, but they decided to do nothing. I believe the conversation was not recorded, but obviously there were two officers and both heard the remarks so they should be able to confirm details. The officers were on the public footpath and within earshot of bystanders.
Surely I would have a case for defamation against the other party on the basis of the above?
