Defamation
The law of defamation protects the reputation of
individuals from any unjustified attack. It tries to
balance the individual’s rights with freedom of speech
and the freedom of the press. Therefore, the law provides
not only ways for people to safeguard their reputation and
win compensation, but also puts in place defences to allow
for defamatory statements being made for
justifiable reasons.
Publications are often
reluctant to pursue cases because they can be expensive
and it can often be difficult to prove the truth of an
article in court. This section of
www.media-solicitors.co.uk
cannot give the full details of how defamation operates
because it is a very in-depth area of law.
