EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
Malta Business Review
Reference is made to the statement of Mr
Jason Attard of Effective Marketing Ltd
published in The Malta Independent on
Sunday 3rd September 2017 regarding the
dismissal of Ms Margaret Brincat following a
report regarding the decision of the Industrial
Tribunal carried on TMIS on Sunday, 13
August 2017; and letter sent to the Editor,
with unfounded allegations regarding Messrs
Margaret Brincat, Martin Vella, and their
company, intended to cause significant harm
to their good name and reputation. This is a
right of reply under Art. 21 of the Press Act.
1. During proceedings before the Industrial
Tribunal instituted by Margaret Brincat,
the defendant, Jason Attard, admitted
to having hacked Miss Brincat’s gmail
account, and proof of this was also
submitted during proceedings, including
documents and a pen-drive showing
that Jason Attard also hacked into the
personal bank account of Margaret
Brincat. Not only is this illegal, but as
recently decided by the Grand Chamber
of the European Court of Human Rights
in the case ‘Barbulespu v Romania’
(decided on the 5th September
2017), the Court decided that this was
an infringement of the employee’s
fundamental human rights.
2. During the Tribunal proceedings, Mr
Attard gave a number of conflicting
reasons why he dismissed Ms Brincat,
and each of these reasons was dismissed
by the Tribunal; in fact, the decision of
the Industrial Tribunal decided that the
Ms Brincat’s dismissal was “unfair and
unjust” and awarded her over €10,000
as compensatory damages.
3. Messrs Brincat and Vella wish to declare
that it is not true that they set up their
Company ‘soon after’ the dispute, since
their Company was established in 2014,
two years after Ms Brincat’s dismissal!
For the record, Messrs Brincat and Vella
confirm the company was set up as a
direct result of Network Publication’s
insolvency and liquidation, and for no
other reason whatsoever.
4. There can be no question as to
Mr Attard’s foregoing statements’
defamatory nature. Each such statement
purports to describe facts that, if
accepted by a reader as true, injure Ms
Brincat and Mr Vella’s reputation so “as
to lower them in the estimation of the
community or to deter third persons
from associating or dealing with them.”
This Right of Reply is being made and
published without prejudice and thus Messrs
Brincat and Vella reserve their rights according
to Law to proceed with libel proceedings.

Obo Messrs Margaret Brincat & Martin Vella
