What Is Defamation?

Defamation is the legal term for a false or misleading statement knowingly made by one person about another to a third party. This statement then causes damage to the person being discussed, mainly to their reputation. There are two types of defamation: slander and libel.

1. Slander is defamation by the spoken word –an example would be co-worker A telling co-worker B that co-worker C drinks eight cocktails for breakfast every day, before driving while inebriated into work and then stealing A’s work. If this is untrue, and co-worker A knows this is untrue, and A doesn’t attempt to find out if this is true or not, this would be slander if it then damaged C’s professional standing at work.
2. Libel is defamation by publishing. We often hear about cases where public figures have sued newspapers for libel, usually when it comes to false allegations about their reputation. It would also constitute libel if co-worker A wrote the above statements in a company memo, and this memo was then sent to every colleague in the firm, this would constitute libel.
