On defamation suits involving private parties one shows damage just by the propagation of a lie.
Nifster said, “”On defamation suits involving private parties one shows damage just by the propagation of a lie.”
Cboldt. is this true? Does it have to be a lie directly about someone, or can it be a lie that is then used to defame someone else? What is the standard for proving that somebody’s lie damaged you enough to give you legal standing?
