Publisher's Synopsis
Gatley on Libel and Slander is the leading text on defamation, containing definitive coverage of the substantive law of defamation, practice and procedure, remedies and a wealth of key case law. The ninth edition has been substantially rewritten to cover new case law and important new legislation including the Defamation Act 1996. It also explores the implications of the 'guarantee of freedom of speech' in the European Convention on Human Rights and considers key decisions on defamation made elsewhere in the Commonwealth.
