Utah Libel, Slander And Defamation Legal Questions

Without reviewing the documents, as well as any potential bases for the other person's alleged complaint, I can't really answer you with any real information. A person can file a lawsuit for any reason -- the question is whether that person will win. So, the person may have such a case. Your situation involves major factual and procedural issues. These are issues that we can discuss.

The simple answer to your question is: Maybe. I'd have to meet with your fiancé to actually review the facts, and how he can prove those facts. Having to prove the facts about the statement will probably have to include working with people with his new employer, who may not want to get involved. Also, one might have to subpoena the test records. Your fiancé should contact me about setting an initial appointment, as his situation involves major factual and procedural issues.

My question is, have you actually been suspended? From what you say, you have been. As such, I don't see any wrongful comment, the comment is in fact true. As such, I don't see defamation. Now, if there is something in your personnel policy about not disemminating such information, you might have a basis for invasion of privacy, public ridicule, or the like.

I don't see this as being any sort of a defamation action, rather a contract issue. Your company policies and procedures manual would need to be reviewed, as well as any documents pertaining to your "uplines" to look at that relationship.
