POPSSlander or Truth “I feel like there are some First Amendment rights involved here,” JT says. “I didn’t say anything that was slanderous, libelous or defamatory. I stated something that was true. It wasn’t pretty, but it was true.”However, Greg Lawless, the Seattle lawyer who filed the lawsuit on behalf of the property management company, says the review contains information that is “flat out wrong.” Lawless claims his client, David Poletti did try to have a dialogue with JT on Yelp to iron things out, as Poletti has done with other online reviews, but that he was unsuccessful. Lawless claims the legal action was taken; not to suppress JT’s opinion, which he says is “welcome,” but to clear up what Lawless calls inaccuracies.

POPSSlander And Libel Without a legal barrier against slander in libel, it would be much to easy to float damaging statements into the public arena without any risk of legal penalty. There are, however, steps that must be taken and challenges that must be met to prove that you have been defamed in a slanderous or libelous manner. First, those wishing to prove slander or libel must prove that the statement made is a false one. If they cannot do this the case cannot procede any further.
