Slander meaning
Oral defamation. Untrue statements communicated to a third party which tend to bring the reputation of the plaintiff into the opprobrium of the community. While the plaintiff does not need to prove that the slander is false if the defendant proves the slander true that is an absolute defence. Damages for slander (unlike libel) must however be proven. However in four cases damages will be presumed: 1) false intimation of the unchastity of a woman, 2) false accusation of professional incompetence, 3) false statements that the plaintiff suffers from a loathesome disease, c4) alumny, that is false accusation of criminality on the part of the plaintiff.
