释义 | 集體誹謗 A situation where the imputation is directed to a class of persons. Under such circumstances, no individual belonging to the class is entitled to say that the publication is directed at him personally. Since defamation entails an attack on the reputation of an individual, and class libel is not actionable or not capable in law of referring to an individual plaintiff, the class imputed cannot be defamed as a class nor can an individual belonging to the class be defamed by way of general reference: Charles Sin Cho Chiu v Tin Tin Publication Development Ltd & Louie King Bun (HCA 6662/97, unreported). Also known as ‘class libel’. See also Defamation; Imputation. 指貶損某界別人士的情況。在此等情況下,屬於該界別的任何個別人士無權聲稱有關發布是針對他個人的。由於誹謗對某個別人士的聲譽作出攻擊,而不能進行界別永久形式誹謗的訴訟、或在法律上不可提述某個別原告,因而被貶損的界別不可以界別的方式被誹謗,或屬於有關界別的任何個別人士亦不可透過一般提述被誹謗:Charles Sin Cho Chiu v Tin Tin Publication Development Ltd & Louie King Bun(高院民事訴訟1997年第6662號,未經彙報)。另稱「界別永久形式誹謗」。另見 Defamation; Imputation。 |
