Does libel not have to be written?
Sorry, my post was not clear.
Libel is , roughly speaking, written.
Slander is spoken. ...
Hi,
i would like to get a legal opinion on the following:
Person A has made serious accusations about another person B, Person A will not engage with person B and will not discuss the matter or to disclose what Person A is actually telling other people. Person B has found out that these were being made by person A through another person. Person B has been unable to clear there name as Person A will not engage on the matter and wants to drop the matter now. Can person A get away with making such false claims.
Yes, this is the essence of a slander and it appears that they have done this also.What i would like to know is can people make accusations about another person, 1) without telling them but everyone else and 2) not willing to disclose to the affected person the nature of the accusations
Aha. Now you're starting to ask useful questions.This may seem a bit silly but there are serious false accusations being made and being circulated around freely by person A. Would there be a legal case for slander/ liable/malous to stop person A. I think the threat of legal action against person A would put a stop to this but i don't want to offer advice that is incorrect to person B.
Cheers
