I have now taken a lie detector test and it showed that I told the truth 100 percent of the time. Now I want to sue my ex-employer for libel and slander and possibly for damages. Can and may I do this? And may I now also make the results public? Regards,\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\n In the Netherlands, a lie detector test proves little to nothing from a criminal law perspective. If your employer accuses you of theft without a police report, that's often sufficient grounds for a criminal complaint or civil action.\n\n You may publish the test results without the employer's name.\n\n\u003ch4\u003e Lawyer\u003c\/h4\u003e \nI strongly advise against publishing the results. This could open you up to a claim for defamation. See, for example, http:\/\/nl.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Smaad. Regarding steps you can take with your employer, we need more information from you to provide advice. Feel free to contact me directly for this. Employment law is my specialty, and I'm happy to assist you with this.\n\n","brand":"Rechtswinkel.nl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55117535084893,"sku":"","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rechtswinkel.nl\/en\/products\/vragen-21205-hallo-ik-werd-en-word-er-vals-van-beschuldigd-van-diefstal-bij-mijn-ex-werkgever-nu-heb-ik-een-leuge","provider":"Rechtswinkel.nl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
