the court order

It has come to my attention that in his usual fashion Alan Murphy is misleading his remaining supporters about the outcome of the defamation suit between us. He claims that he merely backed down over his defamatory claims concerning his former girlfriend, in order to preserve her feelings (bit late to become considerate, after publicising her psychiatric history) - concealing that he made other, more important concessions.

Furthermore he claims that I am infringing on a clause in the settlement by publicising its terms.

So, I here give the text of the order, to put to rest any doubts.

"In the Magistrates' Court (Durban), case no 20906/05
In the matter between
Michael Graaf (Plaintiff)
and
Alan Murphy (Defendant)
Consent Order
1.
The Defendant will pay to the plaintiff the sum of R16000 (sixteen thousand rand)...
[specifications of timing of payments]
2.
2.1 The Defendant acknowledges that the statements made by him, referred to in paragraphs 3 and 5 of the Plaintiff's particulars of claim cannot be supported by reliable evidence and he withdraws such statements.
2.2 The Defendant does not contest the statements made by the Plaintiff in the press and on the internet, upon which the Defendant's counter-claims are based.
3.
The Plaintiff will not make any unwarranted defamatory statements in respect of the Defendant in the future.
4.
The above arrangements are made in full and final settlement of the claims between the parties under the above case number, which are hereby withdrawn."
