Benhayon v Rockett victory at last & the way forward
Posted: November 18, 2018 Filed under: Action, litigiousness | Tags: defamation 123 CommentsFormer Sydney tennis coach turned self-styled spiritual healer Serge Benhayon has suffered a spectacular loss in his Supreme Court defamation case against a former client, after a four-person jury found it was true to say he led a “socially harmful cult”, “intentionally indecently touched” clients and made “bogus healing claims”…
Ms Rockett’s solicitor, Stewart O’Connell of O’Brien Solicitors, said the verdict was a “victory against a Goliath organisation by a woman who refused to be bullied” and was a “vindication of Ms Rockett”. Sydney Morning Herald, 15 October 2018

Universal Medicine is marketed as an esoteric healing organization and religious community, but religious fervour is only one of the factors keeping followers aligned with its commercial Way of the Livingness. (UPDATE: UM made their fourth bogus copyright infringement complaint about the videos in this series to get them taken down temporarily from YouTube. In the meantime, watch the the intro and other four episodes on this playlist – the material UM doesn’t want the public to see.)
