Defamation
"The Publication of a statement about a person that tends to lower his reputation in the opinion of right-thinking members of the company or to make them shun or avoid him. Defamation is usually in words, a distinction is made between defamation in permanent form LIBEL, and defamation not in words SLANDER.
The basis of tort is injury to reputation, so it must be proved that the statement was communicated to someone other than the person defamed. It is not necessary to prove that the defendent intended torefer to the plantiff. The test is whether reasonable people would think the statement referred to him.
ALL those involved in the publication of a defamatory statement, such as printers, publishers, broadcasters etc,are liable and every repitition of a defamatory statement is a fresh publication , giving rise to a new cause of action."
