Two of the most commonly misused and misunderstood legal terms are libel and slander. Both terms involve defamation of a person's character, but they are different forms of defamation of character. Legally, their is an important distinction between the two terms, because libel damages are usually assumed, but in the case of slander, the plaintiff must usually prove special damages.
Step1 Understand the definition of defamation of character. Defamation of character is the communication of false information stated as a fact which brings harm to an individual or an entity, such as a business, group or government. For it to be defamation, the statement must be delivered in speech or in writing to at least one person other than the victim.
Step2 Learn when to use the term slander. Slander is used when the defamation of character is spoken. This can be person to person or a person speaking to many people.
Step3 Say the term libel when referring to the written defamation of someone's character. Libel is the defamation of an individual's or an entity's character which is published in a written medium, such as a newspaper. However, any written communication can be libelous as long as it's transmitted to a third party.
Step4 Use the libel term when the defamation of character comes from audible media. Now, most courts consider defamation of character made during a radio or television broadcast to also be libel, even though the defamation was spoken.
Step5 Know the absolute defense against libel and slander. There are a number of possible defenses against libel and slander, but the only one which is an absolute defense is truth. If the statement is true, it cannot be considered libel or slander.
You're right. I lurk in the shadow of the technology that Rotary Engines Inc brought to Encompass Holdings. I go back beyond Scott Webber who is now the encompass CEO. My contact was Art Robins prior to Webber because he was the CEO but I knew Webber first because he received the technology in a legal battle with Rotary Power Int. which was John Deere which purchased the technology from Curtiss Wright. I don't go back that far but I do go back to RPI and the funding they received. That was govt. fundin. Envision worked with Art Robins and Murray Goldenburg. Anyone here can email Webber and ask if he deals with Envision. I'm not sure how you'd be answered but I'll bet it aint with any positive. If Envision has a beef with the dude they should go for it. Now that would be a kick ta follow.
Accusing me of being "the front man that is shortin" or taking kickbacks, then telling the world that they will regret doing business with me is slander.
