| 释义 | 短暫形式誹謗 Defamatory statement made or conveyed by spoken words, sounds, looks, signs, gestures, sign language (Gutsole v Mathers (1836) 1 M & W 495, 150 ER 530) or in some other non-permanent form (Gregory v Duke of Brunswick (1844) 6 Man & G 953), published of and concerning the plaintiff, to a person other than the plaintiff, by which the plaintiff has suffered actual damage (Davies v Solomon (1871) LR 7 QB 112), often referred to as special damage, which he must allege and prove, or which is actionable per se at common law (Cassell & Co Ltd v Broome [1972] AC 1027, 1 All ER 801 (HL)), or where the words are calculated to disparage the plaintiff in any office, profession, calling, trade or business carried on by him at the time of publication (Defamation Ordinance (Cap 21) s 23), or where the statement is one of a particular character, ie words imputing unchastity to a woman or a girl (s 21). Slander, even though civilly actionable, is not a criminal offence unless it contravenes the law as being, for example, obscene, blasphemous or seditious or a contempt of court. See also Defamation; Injurious falsehood; Libel; Slander of title. 藉口述言詞、聲音、外觀、標記、姿勢、手語(Gutsole v Mathers (1836) 1 M & W 495, 150 ER 530)或若干其他非永久形式(Gregory v Duke of Brunswick (1844) 6 Man & G 953)作出或傳達的誹謗性陳述，向原告之外的人發布關於原告的陳述，原告因而已蒙受實際的損害 ((Davies v Solomon (1871) LR 7 QB 112)，通常被稱為原告必須宣稱及證明，或在普通法本身即可予以訴訟的特殊損害(Cassell & Co Ltd v Broome [1972] AC 1027, 1 All ER 801（上議院）)，或有關言詞刻意貶低原告人在該等言詞發布時所擔任或從事的任何職位、專業、職業、行業或業務（《誹謗條例》(第21章)第23條），或有關的陳述是特別的性質，即意指婦人或少女不貞的言詞（第21條）。 即使在民事上可予以訴訟，短暫形式誹謗並非刑事罪行，除非抵觸法律例如有淫褻性的、褻瀆性的或煽動性的內容，或藐視法庭。另見 Defamation; Injurious falsehood; Libel; Slander of title。n. |
