Defamation has always been a difficult law to pursue despite many abuses felt by employees on basic issues of job titles to more subtle abuses of race. However UK and US law has great strength.Defamationâ??also called calumny, vilification, traducement, slander (for transitory statements), and libel (for written, broadcast, or otherwise published words)â??is the communication of a statement that makes a claim, expressly stated or implied to be factual, that may give an individual, business, product, group, government, or nation a negative image. It is usually a requirement that this claim be false and that the publication is communicated to someone other than the person defamed (the claimant).In common law jurisdictions, slander refers to a malicious, false,[not specific enough to verify] and defamatory spoken statement or report, while libel refers to any other form of communication such as written words or images.Most jurisdictions allow legal actions, civil and/or criminal, to deter various kinds of defamation and retaliate against groundless criticism. Related to defamation is public disclosure of private facts, which arises where one person reveals information that is not of public concern, and the release of which would offend a reasonable person. "Unlike [with] libel, truth is not a defense for invasion of privacy."[not verified in body.False light laws are "intended primarily to protect the plaintiff's mental or emotional well-being."[5] If a publication of information is false, then a tort of defamation might have occurred. If that communication is not technically false but is still misleading, then a tort of false light might have occurred.In most civil law jurisdictions, defamation is dealt with as a crime rather than a tort.A person who destroys another's reputation may be referred to as a famacide, defamer, or slanderer. The Latin phrase famosus libellus means a libelous writing. The biggest favour I can give for anybody seeing defamation or slander is to use foresight and file witness statements, make notes, record and process through a case far ahead of seeing the lawyer. Often victims remain victims of bad employers with abusive staff because the victim does not have the foresight to provide proofs for the honourable Court processes. Simply GET THE PROOFS OF DEFAMATION AND BULLYING QUICKLY AND BEFOREHAND and then file a lawsuit with confidence. Best Wishes, DINESH R MAKWANA (The Dreamwords Poet)
