I have taken legal action against Google today with the serving of a Concerns Notice on Google Inc

My lawyers have today served a Concerns Notice pursuant to section 14 of the Defamation Act 2005 (NSW) on the Chief Legal Officer of Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043 in the United States.

I'll let the legal processes run their course - but I want you to know that my lawyers and I take my reputation and my relationship with you very, very seriously. 

Here are a couple of paragraphs:

Much of the Website’s popularity can no doubt be attributed to our client’s reputation as one of the leading investigators into and commentators on union scandals in Australia. That our client’s reputation is profoundly invested in the Website is clear both from the nature of the Website and its URL.

 ....Google's assertions, and the illustration accompanying them, are seriously damaging to our client’s reputation as well as hurtful and productive of great embarrassment to him. Furthermore, they are utterly false and indefensible, thereby exposing you to the possibility of legal proceedings by Mr Smith....

I'll keep you posted on Google's response.
