In Terms Of Accusations?
Legal onus on a person making allegations to prove that they are true or the onus is on the accused person to prove an allegation was made with malice.

The former. It's not failsafe but generally if you make allegations it should be on you to provide the evidence.

Agreed. I'd also go as far as saying that the person being accused of the crime should have the right to anonymity until such time that they are proven guilty. This happens a lot with high profile cases ... a famous person (usually a man) is accused of a crime, often of a sexual nature and their name is plastered all over the media. Then subsequently it is proven that the accusations are false and completely without foundation, but by then the damage to that persons life is already done. The person should have the right not to be named until their crimes are proven.
I appreciate that the argument against this maybe that it may put some women (or men) off coming forward when they genuinely have been a victim of a crime. But it should not be possible that someone can make completely false allegations against someone and then that person have their life and reputation dragged through the shit by the media until they are ultimately cleared of any crime.

This is where the idea of the thread came from. I have to go for the first option too. I just can't see it any other way. link

I wouldn't worry, Markus. I think you'll get away with it.
