| Banned | Defamation The UK is notorious as a claimant-friendly jurisdiction for bringing libel proceedings. In other words, you should be careful what you write (or allow others to write) on your website. The law of defamation is all about reputation, and the protection of reputation. Slander is concerned with the spoken word, libel with the written word. Note that the law of defamation protects both individuals and companies. A related cause of action, malicious falsehood, protects individuals and companies against false, malicious statements which cause them loss. * 10 Things Webmasters Should Know About ...
