Don't know 'owt about it, soz pal. Is it defamation of character you're looking for though?
Probably not worth the hassle but someone here will know for sure.

I got half threatened with this the other week by the MD once I handed my notice in, told him any legal letters will be returned with LOL written all over them, and that in fact it was the other way round and I will be seeking legal action against them, soon shut him up

Don't give much for your chances of success there! Even less with a teeny.
