A Sydney court just slapped a competitor with a $1 million verdict after Facebook posts falsely accused a top real estate agency of dishonesty — even without naming them, the posts were clearly targeted. Paragon Realty Group walked away with $850K for lost business, while founders Peejay Capati and Grace Chompuchan each received $90K for non-economic harm. The judge noted the devastating impact on their Thai-Australian client base, and issued a permanent ban on future defamatory posts. This case signals a rising trend: economic damages in defamation suits are uncapped, making them a bigger legal target — and a warning to anyone who dares spread false online attacks.
