Defamation

This text is a clear and practical guide to the law and practice of defamation. Its structured approach should make it an ideal source of reference for defamation specialists and anyone - such as journalists, writers and publishers - who needs an affordable guide to substantive law and procedure in this area. The third edition considers many changes, including key case law and the implications of the Human Rights Act 1998. It also provides discussion of how defamation relates to privacy, a highly topical and developing area of law.
