基本説明
Publication delayed (Originally scheduled in June 2001). A practical guide to the law of libel and slander.
Full Description
With actions for defamation rarely out of the spotlight, this title is a clear, practical reference tool to a complex area of the law. Written in an accessible and readable style, the book has been written for both specialist practitioners as well as those who deal with defamation cases on a more occasional basis. It will prove equally useful to those in the media and other areas of 'reputation management' who come across defamation issues in their daily roles.
