INTRODUCTION
The basic idea of defamation law is simple. It is an attempt
to balance the private right to protect one's reputation with
the public right to freedom of speech. Defamation law allows
people to sue those who say or publish false and malicious
comments.
Defences:-
When threatened with a defamation suit, most people focus
on whether or not something is defamatory. But there is
another, more useful way to look at it. The important
question is whether you have a right to say it. If you do, you
have a legal defence.
If someone sues you because you made a defamatory
statement, you can defend your speech or writing on various
grounds. There are three main types of defence:
* what you said was true;
* you had a duty to provide information;
* you were expressing an opinion.
For example:
* You can defend yourself on the grounds that what you said
is true.
* If you have a duty to make a statement, you may be
protected under the defence of "qualified privilege." For
example, if you are a teacher and make a comment about a
student to the student's parents -- for example, that the
student has been naughty -- a defamation action can only
succeed if they can prove you were malicious. You are not
protected if you comment about the student in the media.
* If you are expressing an opinion, for example on a film or
restaurant, then you may be protected by the defence of
"comment" or "fair comment," if the facts in your statement
were reasonably accurate.
* There is an extra defence if you are a parliamentarian and
speak under parliamentary privilege, in which case your
speech is protected by "absolute privilege," which is a
complete defence in law. The same defence applies to
anything you say in court.
The same basic defences apply throughout Australia,
although the things you have to prove to apply them may
differ. For example, in some Australian states, truth alone is
an adequate defence. In other states, a statement has to be
true and in the public interest -- if what you said was true but
not considered by the court to be in the public interest, you
can be successfully sued for defamation.
The Internet has drawn much attention and discussion in
regard to issues and shortcomings relating to current libel
and defamation laws. Many of these laws are currently
undergoing review, as many tenets of existing codes do not
address certain fundamental questions and implications that
the Internet raises about the nature and enforceability of
defamation safeguards. What kind of jurisdiction does a
state (both national and international) have over a
transgressor of its laws from outside that state? Is an act
illegal if committed over the Internet from a state where that
same act is deemed legal? What liability does the service
provider shoulder? What kind of legislation, if any, is
necessary to protect privacy rights, freedom of speech, and
defamation laws? This website explores these questions by
examining the major cyberspace libel cases that have
guided many of the trends in current legislation and court
precedent, the changing laws adapting to the Internet's
special needs, and the steps that need to be taken to
accomodate issues likely to arise in the future as more and
more of the world gains access to the Internet.
