It's not the link as such though, is it? It's the unfavourable review.

It probably depends on what country you live in, but if it's the one known to be the most litigious nation on Earth, who knows what's possible? That said, it's hard to believe that even there anyone would have a case to be made for just having a link, when that's the main underpinning of the internet. If your online review is libelous, it's a different thing - by you having put it online, you're publishing it, and it's the same thing as putting up posters on hydro poles, or distributing articles to newspapers.

So, if you don't think it's grounds for a libel suit, tell them to get stuffed, discretely.
