LIBELS Meaning and Definition

1. Libels, in its plural form, refers to written or printed publications that falsely defame or maliciously malign the reputation of a person or entity. This term is primarily associated with defamation laws and refers to defamatory statements that are presented in a written or printed format, such as newspapers, magazines, books, or online publications.

   In legal terms, libels are considered to be a form of civil wrong and fall under the category of defamation. Libelous statements are those that damage the reputation of an individual or organization by falsely portraying them in a negative light or making false accusations against them.

   Libels usually involve false and damaging statements about a person's character, honesty, integrity, or professional abilities. These statements are typically presented as facts rather than opinions, which distinguishes libel from other forms of criticism or expression of personal views.

   To prove a libel case, the plaintiff must demonstrate that the published statement is false, defamatory, and has caused damage to their reputation. Additionally, in some jurisdictions, they may also need to prove that the statement was made with malice or negligence on the part of the person responsible for its publication.

   Libel laws vary across different countries and jurisdictions, and various legal defenses, such as truth, fair comment, or privilege, may be available to defendants accused of publishing libelous statements.

Etymology of LIBELS

The word "libels" derives from the Latin term "libellus", which means a small book or a pamphlet. In ancient Rome, this word was specifically used to refer to a document submitted as evidence in a legal case or for public display. Over time, the meaning of "libellus" expanded to include a written statement or document that defames or slanders someone or something. In English, the word "libels" functions as a verb and a noun, referring to both the act of defaming someone in writing and the written document itself, respectively.
