What about the possibility (perhaps remote) that damaging the ex-employer's reputation (by disclosing what at least looks pretty vindictive) will bring it [ETA: the ex-employer] into a two-front war and make them less successful in the suit? I'm not a lawyer so I'm way out of my depth here, but is this something that could possibly work?

Edit: slippery pronoun

I don't see that being a problem, provided everything he wrote is simply a matter of fact. Perhaps I'm an optimist.

"Truth is an absolute defence against libel/slander," does not hold up under many jurisdictions in Europe. More like, "people with more money get to decide what the 'truth' is."

No, I meant to discuss the possibility that disclosure is good for OP, because he'd want his ex-employer to be in a two-front war.
