WHAT IS DEFAMATION?

Any statement in a book or journal or newspaper, or any other published matter (an advertisement, e-mail or website, blog, message board for example), runs the risk of being defamatory if it contains an untrue allegation or imputation which has caused or is likely to cause serious harm to the reputation of another. All of the following elements must be present, before a statement can be libellous:

• It must have been published (or in the case of slander, spoken) to a third party.

• It must be understood to refer to the person complaining about it.

• The allegation must bear a defamatory meaning.

• The allegation must have caused or be likely to cause serious harm to the reputation of the claimant.
