You arrived at this page by selecting:Defamation is libel and slander.
If somebody says something about you that is not true and which tends to lower your reputation you're entitled to sue them for it and get compensation, except in pretty rare circumstances.
It used to be said that defamation was only for rich people. There is no legal aid available for defamation for example. However there have been reforms to the process of claiming for defamation in recent years which makes it far more usable for people of more modest means. A good case might even be taken on by a lawyer on a no win no fee basis.
