Re: Inflammatory/Slanderous remarks sent through email.
Yes. That would be considered defamation, which is actionable in court. The question is: What are your damages? Have you lost money or income as a result? Is your reputation harmed as a result, etc.? Please send me more details so I can evaluate your case and see if we should go forward.
Thanks!
