File a lawsuit for compensatory damages that were solely caused by SJC and take to court Weidner Apartment Homes is what I do now!
Libel is a serious charge. What is Libel?
Defamation
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Libel)
This article is about the malicious statement. For the 2009 film, see Defamation (film).
"Libel" and "Slander" redirect here. For other uses, see Libel (disambiguation) and Slander (disambiguation).
"Vilification" and "Calumny" redirect here. For the hate crime, see racial vilification. For the Catholic sin, see detraction.
This article needs attention from an expert on the subject. See the talk page for details. Consider associating this request with a WikiProject. (April 2011) |
In common law jurisdictions, slander refers to a malicious, false,[2][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.[3] 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."[4][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.[5]
In most civil law jurisdictions, defamation is dealt with as a crime rather than a tort.[6]
A person who harms another's reputation may be referred to as a famacide, defamer, or slanderer. The Latin phrase famosus libellus means a libelous writing.
How to prove libel
There are several ways a person must go about proving that libel has taken place. For example, in the United States, the person first must prove that the statement was false. Second, that person must prove that the statement caused harm. And, third, they must prove that the statement was made without adequate research into the truthfulness of the statement. These steps are for an ordinary citizen. In the case of a celebrity or public official trying to prove libel, they must prove the first three steps, and must (in the United States) prove the statement was made with the intent to do harm, or with reckless disregard for the truth. Usually specifically referred to as "proving malice".[17]
Who was responsible for this travesty, farce and all-around mess in the first place? You guessed it; SJC again.
Isn't the company responsible for the actions of their own employees? OF COURSE THEY ARE!
