Defamation

Defamation (whether in print or verbal) is a communication from one person to at least one other that lowers or harms the reputation of a third person. Usually the communicator has no legal defence and there is no legal basis (such as truth) to which the communicator relies on. The law of defamation aims to balance free speech with the right of an individual to enjoy a reputation free from an indefensible attack.

For a defamation action to succeed, the person complaining of the defamation (the plaintiff) has to prove three things:

  • that the communication has been published to a third person;
  • that the communication identifies (or is about) the plaintiff; and
  • that the communication is defamatory.

It is important to note that actions in defamation have a limitation period of one year from publication, therefore it is vitally important to seek legal advice immediately if you have concern over such matters.

D’Angelo Legal is experienced in defamation law and happy to discuss with you your potential defamation claim including obtaining urgent injunction orders (if requird) to prevent print or the defamatory act from occurring in the future or to seek damages or special damages for the harm done to the defamed person.
