Dear Mr Allcock,
Re: Letter of Claim — Not for Publication
We act for Marc Randazza and Randazza Legal Group (together "our clients"). This letter is written in relation to an online campaign of defamation and harassment against our clients, the main focus of which has been the online publication by you of allegations that Mr. Randazza is corrupt.
This letter intends to set out our clients' case against you under the Defamation Act 2013 ("the DA"), the Protection from Harassment Act 1997 ("the PHA"), malicious falsehood and harassment. We write to give you notice of our clients' intention to make an application to the High Court in London for an injunction to prohibit you from continuing your campaign, if you do not agree to bring it to an end immediately. It is written pursuant to the Pre-Action
Protocol for Media and Communications Claims which we attach to this letter of claim.
Background
Mr Randazza is the managing partner of Randazza Legal Group in the US and an attorney who specializes in First Amendment and Intellectual Property matters nationwide. Randazza Legal Group ("RLG") is a group of US attorneys who represent clients on a wide array of First Amendment, Intellectual Property and defamation issues.
On 2 September 2020, our clients sent a letter of claim to you, in your role as Director of Webain Limited ("Webain"), at its registered office Vantage House, East Terrace Business Park, Euxton Lane, Lancashire, PR7 6TB. In addition, our clients emailed the letter of claim to you at the following email addresses:
1. sam.allcock@abcmonev.co.uk
2. sam@prfire.com
3. sam@newsanvwav.com
4. sam@webain.co.uk
Your responsibility for publication
The letter of claim served on you on 2 September 2020, set out in detail that our clients consider you responsible for a campaign in relation to their clients from the websites owned and/or operated by you at newsanyway.com, ABCMoney.co.uk and PRFire.com (together "the Websites"). This letter of claim does not intend to repeat the allegations put to you in the letter of 2 September 2020. However, it is significant to note that our clients' letter to you, provided you an opportunity to notify them if you disputed you are the owner and/or operator of one or more of the Websites and you failed to do so. Consequently, our clients will rely upon and draw the Court's attention to the inference that is drawn by your failure to dispute you own and/or are responsible for the Websites.
In addition, you are a Director of Link Baits Ltd, the company which owns the copyright to Fortune Herald and which is published online at https://fortuneherald.com. On 26 September 2020, you publish an article at https://fortuneherald.com/press-release/corrupt-attorney-marc-randazza-represents-dwight-schar-and-bella-collinas-reputation in relation to Mr. Randazza and it is clear that as the owner and/or operator of the Fortune Herald website, you are responsible for publishing this article.

In the Seventh Publication, you include several hyperlinks to take readers of the Seventh Publication to additional publications including the First and the Third Publication in relation to our clients and in doing so, you are responsible for publishing all the articles readers can access from the hyperlinks in the Seventh Publication. We give you notice that, subject to your response to this claim, our clients will include a claim against you as the publisher responsible for the articles reached from the hyperlinks in the Seventh Publication (together ['the Publications").
For the purposes of a claim in defamation and malicious falsehood, in the natural and ordinary meaning, the words in the Publications complained of mean and would be understood to mean that Mr Randazza is corrupt and dishonest; he is guilty of serious misconduct including bribery and 'shady' loads; he is unethical and guilty of professional misconduct including deception and concealment and as a result of his misconduct, his licence to practice law was suspended. He has been sued by the State Bar of Nevada for multiple violations of serious misconduct and as a result, other State Bars are pursuing legal action against Mr Randazza. In addition, as a result of this misconduct, AVVO has issued a warning about Mr Randazza and he is responsible for creating and/or publishing false positive reviews in relation to his legal work. The words in the Publications complained of also mean and would be understood to mean that Mr Randazza is a fascist, a racist and homophobic.
The true position
The true position is that Mr Randazza is not corrupt or dishonest. He does not engage in bribery or 'shady' loans. He has not guilty of 'serious misconduct' in his legal practice. Mr Randazza is a practicing Attorney in the US who upholds his professional and ethical duties.
Mr Randazza has not been sued by the State Bar of Nevada or any other State Bar in the US. He accepts that he was subject to joint disciplinary proceedings between the Florida Bar and the Nevada Bar. However, the disciplinary proceedings relate to two alleged violations rather than nine violations as you allege in your publication and the nature of the alleged discipline is also misrepresented in the Publications. Furthermore, the joint disciplinary proceedings found there is no evidence that Mr Randazza engaged in activities contrary to his clients' interests and his right to practice law has never been suspended. AVVO has never issued a warning to consumers in relation to our clients and they do not create and/or publish false reviews of their services. Mr Randazza has never, to his knowledge, been investigated or charged with any offence of corruption and the allegation of him being corrupt is pure fabrication. Furthermore, the allegations of Mr Randazza being a fascist, racist and homophobic and wholly false.
Serious harm
Our clients will be able to satisfy the requirements of sl(2) of the Defamation Act 2013 (%1(2)") and demonstrate that the Publications are defamatory and have caused and/or are likely to cause serious financial loss. The allegations you publish are serious ones, which concern compliance with professional, legal and ethical duties, involving corruption, bribery, dishonesty and serious misconduct. These defamatory and false statements are ones which go to the heart of Mr Randazza's private and professional reputation as well as the reputation of RIG.
Further, the Publications appear prominently on Google for the distinctive name of our clients. Therefore, the allegations are substantially published on Google, directly to our clients. Given how heavily regulated the legal profession is, anyone conducting due diligence and research on the internet via Google, will come across your Publications, and the highly defamatory allegations. Many of those who read the defamatory and false statements about our clients will have decided that our clients are corrupt and criminals, and as a result not trust them.
Malicious Falsehood
In addition, or an alternative to a claim of defamation against you, our client is entitled to pursue a claim for malicious falsehood. The allegations in your Publications are false and it appears you posted them maliciously, or at least that you did not care whether or not the claims that you made against our clients were false and have caused or are likely to cause our clients serious harm.
Harassment and privacy
Your defamatory and malicious campaign has seriously infringed Mr Randazza's right to privacy, has harassed him in the most distressing way possible and damaged his reputation. The focus of our clients' claim in defamation is the content of the Publications you posted on the Websites and which may have been shared online.
However, all of the information concerning Mr Randazza which forms part of the campaign gives rise to a reasonable expectation of privacy. It is very well established that the question of whether there is a reasonable expectation of privacy is a broad one, which takes account of all the circumstances of the case.
The circumstances in which you publish allegations on the Websites following our client sending you a letter of claim is all information which is inherently private, and plainly attracts an expectation of privacy.
The communication between our client and you and any other individual he has written to in relation to the claims put to you, will also attract a reasonable expectation of privacy. They were made in circumstances with no suggestion that they might become public.
The allegation of criminality by Mr Randazza, to the effect that he corrupt, he lies in Court and is guilty of bribery when the true position is, he has never been arrested, charged or convicted of any of the offences you allege. Despite this, your allegations of unlawful conduct against Mr Randazza will also attract privacy and confidentiality.
Mr Randazza will consider reporting your harassment to Police should it continue but we make it clear that the investigation into the report will also attract a reasonable expectation of privacy as a matter of Police policy and as a matter of law (see Richard v BBC [2018] EWHC 1837 (Ch); [2018] 3 WLR 1715). Neither Mr Randazza nor the Police have done anything to undermine the principle that such matters are private and confidential, and the same obligation is expected by you.
Further, the right to privacy protects both against a loss of secrecy or confidentiality and against intrusion. The latter is an important element of the modern law of privacy, see PJS v News Group Newspapers [2016] UKSC 26; [2016] AC 1081. You have published Mr Randazza's name, his image and personal information, alongside false and defamatory allegations in the context of your campaign. However, Mr Randazza is entitled to protection from the very serious intrusion which results from his ongoing and/or further identification as the subject of disclosures relating to the matters referred to above, should the campaign persist online.
Additionally, the campaign amounts to harassment for the purposes of the PHA. The relentless pursuit of Mr Randazza via the Websites, including through publication of hyperlinks, URLs and tags which aim to harass him by targeting his business interests, and by extracts copied from official documents in order to present an element of authenticity to the Publications, together with your allegations of criminality, is utterly oppressive.
Harassment is a persistent and deliberate course of unreasonable and oppressive conduct, targeted at another person, which is calculated to and does cause that person alarm, fear or distress. A well-established summary of the law on harassment explains that: there must be conduct which occurs on at least two occasions, which is targeted at the claimant, which is calculated in an objective sense to cause alarm or distress, and which is objectively judged to be oppressive and unacceptable (although it is now clear that the claimant need not be the target of the conduct). What is oppressive and unacceptable may depend on the context in which the conduct occurs, and a line is to be drawn between conduct which is unattractive and unreasonable, and conduct which has been described in various ways, as "torment" of the victim, or "of an order which would sustain criminal liability".
Publication may ground liability in harassment and, in relation to harassing publications on the internet, it is established that publication of individuals' names on websites in the knowledge that such publications will inevitably come to their attention on more than one occasion and on each occasion cause them alarm and distress constitutes harassment, and that where publication is an ongoing one on a prominent website, the distress and alarm caused by the publication will also be continuous (see Law Society v Kordowski [2011] EWHC 3185 (QB); [20141 EMLR 2).
Your publications have been published on the Websites and/or in circumstances where it was inevitable that they would come to Mr Randazza's attention via his immediate circle, his colleagues and business associates, as well as his family and friends. Further, the Publications and disclosures identifying Mr Randazza as an alleged wrongdoer, and exposing him, are permanently available on the Websites and online. It is inevitable that the Publications in question will come to Mr Randazza's attention on more than one occasion and on each occasion cause him alarm and distress. He is finding the effects of the campaign tormenting to the point of being unbearable, and it has caused him extreme distress, fear and anxiety. He feels threatened by you, and in particular, your allegations which imply he is corrupt, a fascist, a racist and homophobic represent a genuine threat to the physical safety of him and his family.
Mr Randazza will inevitably suffer reputational damage as a result of your campaign. Our client accepts that he was involved in joint disciplinary proceedings with the Florida and Nevada Bar. However, this is not, for the reasons explained, the nub of his complaint, which is focused on his entitlement to protect his privacy, to be free from harassment and defamatory allegations by you and other parties online. Any intention on your part to cause reputational harm and damage which has been or is only partially successful, does not mean that the campaign has not had a very damaging effect on Mr Randazza's rights under Article 8 of the European Convention of Human Rights ("ECHR") more generally.
It is well established that matters of a purely personal or private nature are unlikely to be considered matters of public interest. Mr Randazza is a private individual and there is no public interest in the publication of false and defamatory statements by you.
In relation to alleged misuse of private information, it may be a defence to argue that there is "no confidence in iniquity" or that there is a public interest in exposing a person's misconduct, particularly where such misconduct involves crime, or the threat of crime, or serious impropriety.
There is no prospect of proving any misconduct by Mr Randazza to a standard which would amount to a viable defence of disclosing misconduct in the public interest. In any event, Mr Randazza's case is that even if you could establish the truth of your allegations on the balance of probabilities, that would not amount to an adequate justification for the campaign. There is no prospect whatsoever of you demonstrating that it is reasonable to publish the allegations that Mr Randazza is corrupt, a fascist, a racist and homophobic.
The campaign amounts to an attempt to exact retribution on Mr Randazza rather than any proportionate or necessary exercise of Article 10 rights under the ECHR.
GDPR Claims
Mr Randazza is an Italian citizen and afforded protection of his personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (the 'tGDPR"). Mr Randazza's image and details relating to his personal life amount to his personal data since •it is data from which he is easily identified.
The images of Mr Randazza have been copied and published by you without his consent alongside your allegations that he is corrupt and guilty of serious misconduct. This is causing Mr Randazza very significant distress as a result. The personal data you publish is in breach of Article 5 of the GDPR because the data is not being processed lawfully, fairly and in a transparent manner in relation to Mr Randazza. Instead, the personal data is being processed with the intention of a smear campaign against Mr Randazza, with highly defamatory and false allegations that he is corrupt and guilty of serious misconduct issues, alongside allegations he is a fascist, racist and homophobic. There is no public interest in processing completely false allegations.
In the circumstances, Mr Randazza seeks to enforce the following rights under the GDPR of the processing of the data: the "Right to Erasure" under Article 17 GDPR, Mr Randazza requests that the articles are erased without undue delay according to Article 17.1 (a), (c) and (d), the "Right to object" to the processing under Article 21 GDPR. Mr Randazza objects on the grounds set out above to the continuing processing of his personal data on the Websites.
Relief
Our clients do not wish to pursue a claim against you for an injunction and damages. However, in the egregious circumstances to which you are responsible for the Publications on the Websites, they are determined to prevent the continuation of your campaign, and achieve vindication, and will not hesitate to do so if you do not immediately agree to provide the following relief:
To delete the following URLS complained of in this letter:a. https://fortuneherald.com/press-release/corrupt-attorney-marc-randazzarepresents-dwight-schar-and-bella-collinas-reputation/b. https:(/www.newsanyway.com/2020/09/29/why-the-florida-bar-still-allowsdwight-schars-corrupted-attornev-marc-randazza-to-practice-law/c. https://www.abcmoney.co.uk/2020(10/01/why-state-bar-of-nevada-allowscorrupt-marc-randazza-to-practice-law/
To undertake, in terms to be agreed, not to repeat the false and defamatory statements complained of in this letter or any similar allegations, whether by yourself, your servants or agents or otherwise.
To undertake you will not use the Websites and any others that you are responsible for, to repeat the false and defamatory statements complained of in this letter of claim, or any similar allegations, in relation to our clients.
An undertaking not to pursue a course of conduct which amounts to harassment contrary to the Protection from Harassment Act 1997.
You will note that our clients do not at this time seek an apology, damages for libel, or the extensive legal costs attributable directly to the defamation and harassment complaint from
you. However, their attitude to these issues will be conditioned by the nature of your response to this letter, and they are prepared to pursue their legal entitlements against you in full if it is not satisfactory.
Should your response to this letter be to continue or escalate the campaign in any way, then that may lead to an escalation in damages. In addition to this, they will press for the initiation of criminal proceedings against you in respect of the PHA, which will clearly have a long-term detrimental impact upon you.
We urge you to take specialist legal advice in relation to this matter and to our clients' claim generally. This is particularly important where you appear, quite wrongly, to believe that the campaign is lawful or justified.
This matter is urgent, and we require a response within 14 days, which is also the period within which you are required to respond pursuant to the Pre-action Protocol for Media and
Communications Claims r3.6 (attached).
We look forward to hearing from you and you can contact us by telephone on 020 7183

Pre-action Protocol for Media and Communications Claims
Pre-action Protocol for Media and Communications Claims
Contents
Title Number
Introduction 1
Aims of the Protocol 2
Pre-action protocols for Media and 3
Communications List causes of action
1 Introduction
1.1 This Pre-Action Protocol was updated after a consultation following the formation of the Media and Communications List in 2017. It now applies to cases within the scope of CPR rule 53.1: all cases involving claims in defamation, misuse of private information, data protection law or harassment by publication, and claims in breach of confidence and malicious falsehood which arise from publication or threatened publication by the print or broadcast media, online, on social media, or in speech.
1.2 This Protocol is intended to encourage exchange of information between parties at an early stage and to provide a clear framework within which parties to a media and communications claim, acting in good faith, can explore the early and appropriate resolution of that claim.
1.3 The courts will treat the standards set out in this Protocol as the normal reasonable approach for parties to a media and communications claim. Therefore, the courts will expect parties to have complied with this Protocol in good time before proceedings are issued. Should a claim proceed to litigation, the extent to which this Protocol has been followed by the parties will assist the court in dealing with liability for costs and making other orders.
1.4 There are important features which distinguish defamation claims and other media and communications cases from other areas of civil litigation, and these must be borne in mind when both applying, and reviewing the application of, the Pre-Action Protocol. In particular, time is frequently 'of the essence' in defamation and other publication claims; the limitation period is (uniquely) only I year in defamation and malicious falsehood cases, and often, a Claimant will be seeking an immediate correction and/or apology as part of the process of restoring his/her reputation.
Litigants in Person
If a party to the claim does not have a legal representative they should still, in so far as reasonably possible, fully comply with this Protocol.
If a party to a claim becomes aware that another party is a litigant in person, they should send a copy of this Protocol to the litigant in person at the earliest opportunity
2 Aims of the Protocol
2.1 The aims of this Protocol are to enable the parties to prospective claims to:
(a) understand and properly identify the issues in dispute and to share information and relevant documents;
(b)make informed decisions as to whether and how to proceed;
(c) try to settle the dispute without proceedings or reduce the issues in dispute;
(d)avoid unnecessary expense and control the costs of resolving the dispute; and
(e) support the efficient management of proceedings where court proceedings cannot be avoided.
Proportionality
2.2 In formulating both the Letter of Claim and Response and in taking any subsequent steps, the parties should act reasonably to keep costs proportionate to the nature and gravity of the case and the stage the complaint has reached.
3 Pre-action protocols for Media and Communications List causes of action
3.1 Letter of Claim

3.8 Settlement and Alternative Dispute Resolution
Court proceedings should be a last resort. The parties should consider whether some form of alterative dispute resolution (ADR) procedure might enable them to settle their dispute without commencing court proceedings, and if so, endeavour to agree which form to adopt.
Although ADR is not compulsory, the court will expect the parties to have considered ADR. A party's refusal to engage with ADR (including its failure to respond to an invitation to participate in ADR) might be considered unreasonable by the court and could lead to the court ordering that party to pay additional costs.
3.9 Some of the options for resolving disputes without commencing proceedings are—
(a) without prejudice discussions and negotiations between the parties;
(b) mediation — a form of facilitated negotiation assisted by an independent neutral third party;,
(c) early neutral evaluation (ENE) - a third party giving an informed opinion on the dispute (for example, a lawyer experienced in the field of defamation or an individual experienced in the subject matter of the claim); and
(d) reference to a press regulator established to deal with complaints from members of the public about the editorial content of newspapers and magazines or an arbitration scheme operated by such a regulator.
3.10 CPR Part 36 (Offers to Settle) permits claimants and defendants to make offers to settle before and after proceedings have been issued. The parties should consider if it is appropriate to make a Part 36 Offer before proceedings are issued. If such an offer is made, the party making the offer must supply sufficient evidence and/or information to enable the offer to be properly considered.
The defendant may make an offer to settle a defamation action through the offers to amend procedure under sections 2 — 4 of the Defamation Act 1996. This procedure requires the defendant to make an offer to publish an apology or a redaction statement. The defendant may also be required to pay damages and costs to the claimant.
Stocktake
3.11 the procedure set out in this Protocol has not resolved the dispute between the parties, they should undertake a further review of their respective positions. The parties should consider the state of the papers and the evidence in order to see if proceedings can be avoided and, at the least, narrow the issues between them which can assist efficient case management.
