Hart Publishing is publishing a
book on landmark (common law) cases in defamation law.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Landmark Cases in Defamation Law
is a diverse and engaging edited collection that brings together eminent
scholars from the United Kingdom, the United States, Australia, Canada and New
Zealand to analyse cases of enduring significance to defamation law. The cases
selected have all had a significant impact on defamation law, not only in the
jurisdiction in which they were decided but internationally. Given the
formative influence of English defamation law in the United States, Australia,
Canada and New Zealand, the focus is predominantly on English cases, although
decisions of the United States and Australia are also included in the
collection. The authors all naturally share a common interest in defamation law
but bring different expertise and emphasis to their respective chapters. Among
the authors are specialists in tort law, legal history and internet law. The
cases selected cover all aspects of defamation law, including defamatory
capacity and meaning; practice and procedure; defences; and remedies.
