MBE® Flashcard
DEFINE DEFAMATORY MESSAGE.
A message is defamatory if it subjects the plaintiff to scorn or ridicule or deters others from dealing with the plaintiff, causing reputational harm (e.g., accusing the plaintiff of a heinous crime).
The statement must be one that can be believed as truthful and harmful to the plaintiff’s reputation—hyperbole and opinions are not defamatory.
