Synopsis
"Gatley on Libel and Slander" contains 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 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.
