Libel

Libel is a false statement that is made in writing, print, or through visual representations, and it harms the reputation of an individual, business, or organization. It is a form of defamation that involves publishing false information that can damage.

To be considered libel, the following elements are usually required:

• False statement: In terms of facts, not an opinion or subjective interpretation.
• Publication: The false declaration must be communicated to a third party, meaning it is shared or disseminated in some way.
• Harm: The statement must cause harm to the reputation of the person or entity targeted by it. This can include damage to their personal or professional reputation, financial losses, or other negative consequences.
• Negligence or intent: In some jurisdictions, it may be necessary to prove that the person making the false statement acted negligently or intentionally when publishing it, meaning they knew it was false or did not exercise reasonable care to verify the truth.
