Civil Defamation refers to written (libel) or spoken (slander) false statements that damage a person’s reputation, leading to monetary compensation claims under Tort Law. In a civil defamation case, the plaintiff must prove that the statement was false, published, and caused reputational harm. Unlike criminal defamation, civil cases focus on compensation rather than punishment. Common examples include defamatory news articles, false social media posts, and misleading business allegations.
