Defamation Law Solicitors, Cork and Midleton, Ireland

If you have found yourself in a situation where a false allegation has been made about you as an individual or as a business entity, we are here to provide you with the legal assistance you need. Your reputation is a very personal thing, and we recognise that false statements can cause great distress to you and those around you.

Defamation can be classed in two separate categories, libel and slander. Libel is the publication of a permanent statement, either written or verbal and can appear in print publications such as newspapers or websites or in broadcast media such as radio, television or podcasts. Slander refers to non-permanent statements, generally restricted to the spoken word or gestures, which are by their very nature fleeting or temporary.

To establish that defamation has occurred, we must first identify the following:

• Has the false statement identified you as an individual? This does not necessarily mean that you have to be named in the statement, but that it is clear to the reader/listener that the subject of the statement is you or your business.
• Has the statement been published? When we refer to publication in this instance, we are speaking about communication of the statement to another. Whether this is through publication in the media, via email or through verbal communication to another individual, publication must be established for defamation to be considered valid.
• Has harm been caused? Have you suffered or are you likely to suffer in light of this defamatory statement?
