The meaning of words for the purpose of the law of defamation is not a question of legal construction, but a question of fact: Slim v Daily Telegraph Ltd [1968] 2 QB 157, 1 All ER 497 (CA); Peregrine Investments Holdings Ltd v Associated Press [1997] HKLRD 1073, [1997] 2 HKC 260.

See also Reasonable man; Statutory construction. 文字向「一般人」傳達的涵義：Hong Kong Standard Newspaper Ltd [1996] 4 HKC 519; Easy Finder Ltd v Oriental Daily Publisher Ltd [1998] 1 HKC 546 (上訴法庭)；Pang Siu Yin v Tam Kei Wai Gary t/a Gary KW Tam & Co [1995] 3 HKC 482。就誹謗法的目的所使用的文字涵義不是法律釋義的問題，而是事實的問題：Slim v Daily Telegraph Ltd [1968] 2 QB 157, 1 All ER 497 (芵國上訴法院)；Peregrine Investments Holdings Ltd v Associated Press [1997] HKLRD 1073, [1997] 2 HKC 260。一旦涵義被決定，法庭須裁定被申訴的文字是否對原訴人造成誹謗：Eastern Express Publisher Ltd v Mo Man Ching Claudia [1999] 4 HKC 425, 3 HKLRD 530 (終審法院)。另見 Reasonable man; Statutory construction。 |
