Prominent Western Australian business figures are facing a defamation lawsuit filed by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, according to The West Australian. The suit centers on statements made by the business leaders about the Church.

Details of the specific allegations and statements at issue have not been fully disclosed in public court filings. The case adds to international litigation involving the LDS Church and represents one of the Church's few defamation actions in Australian courts. Neither the Church nor the defendants have issued public statements about the substance of the dispute.
