Employment Law Defamation
HTW Law - Employment Lawyer
Defining Defamation In A Few Words
Defamation law is a balancing act between freedom of expression and restitution for individuals harmed thereby. Almost all employment law defamation cases involve one person suing another for damages from defamatory statements, made intentionally in public, or there won't be a defamation case in employment law context.
The Tort of Defamation in Employment Law Context
In Employment Law Context, defamation can occurs in many forms. For instance, failure of employer to provide a letter of reference to an employee terminated without cause, and badmouthing, defaming, trashing the employee's professional reputation could sometimes be considered as a form of defamation. Filing a professional body disciplinary proceeding with the intent to cause harm and emotional distress to an employee could be viewed as another example of defamation in employment law context.
In employment law context, although medical evidence proving actual emotional distress or any other physiological manifestations resulted from defamation is not required, it is, time after time, a make-it-or-break-it factor the Court considers when deciding on an employment law case involving defamation.
