Defamation refers to the communication of false statements that harm the reputation of an individual or entity.
In Australia, defamation laws are designed to safeguard individuals and businesses against unwarranted harm to their reputation resulting from false statements communicated to others.
Defamation can occur through both written (libel) and spoken (slander) statements that are untrue and damaging to the subject’s reputation. These laws recognise the importance of protecting personal and professional reputations in a digital age where information spreads rapidly.
Individuals have the right to seek redress if they believe their reputation has been unfairly tarnished by defamatory remarks.
