Malicious Editing of an email

Brendan552004

You belong to a professional association, you work on a contract basis for an English based company.

You are contacted by a US based company asking would you be willing to work on a contract basis for them, they ask you for your CV

You reply to the email sending your CV and also very clearly stating that you would have to discuss and clear everything with the English based company.

The US company forward your reply to a member of your association in Ireland, they said to check out what you were stating was true.

The member of the Association in Ireland forwards the email to the MD of the company in England, they edit the email taking out all reference to the paragraph about discussing and clearing, they also edit the email to make it look like it was not a reply but was an email touting for business.

The person who forwarded your email is now working for the company in England

Has any law been broken?

We don't do legal advice.

Seems it might fall short of defamation, might fall into deceit tort or some other category.

Don't post any more detail.
