法律英语词汇“slander”的翻译、意思、用法、释义-法律词典

单词

slander

释义

slander
n. A defamatory statement made by such means as spoken words or gestures, i.e. not in permanent form. Subject to narrow exceptions, slander is only actionable on proof that its publication has caused special damage (actual financial or material loss), not merely loss of reputation. Traditionally, the exceptions were when the slander implied:

a. the commission of a criminal offence punishable by imprisonment;

b. infection with a contagious disease;

c. unchastity in a woman: or

d. was calculated to disparage a person in his office, business, trade, or profession.

The Defamation Act 2013 has abolished exceptions (b) and (c) and now requires serious harm to the claimant’s reputation in all cases, which for a body trading for profit equates to serious financial loss.

See defamation.
