LIBELED Meaning and Definition

1. The term "libeled" is a past tense verb form of the word "libel," which refers to a legal and unethical act involving the dissemination of false or damaging information about a person, group, or organization. With its origins in common law, libel is a civil offense that falls within the broader category of defamation. When someone has been libeled, it means that they have been subjected to a false or inaccurate publication of defamatory material that has the potential to harm their reputation.

   As a verb, "libeled" signifies the action of imputing false statements or causing harm to someone's character or reputation by means of written, printed, or otherwise published material. It involves the intentional spreading of false information about someone, which can take various forms such as articles, books, blog posts, social media posts, or even spoken words that are later transcribed.

   To prove libel, the affected party typically needs to demonstrate that the published material is false, that it identifies or refers to them, that it was communicated to at least one other person, and that it caused harm to their reputation. In many legal jurisdictions, the plaintiff must also show negligence or an intent to harm on the part of the defendant.

   Being subject to libel can have wide-ranging consequences, including damage to personal and professional relationships, loss of employment opportunities, or harm to public image. Therefore, it is crucial for individuals and organizations to be aware of the laws surrounding libel and take appropriate measures to protect their reputation and seek legal redress if necessary.
