Slander is a false defamatory statement that is spoken aloud. Libel is a false defamatory statement, but libelous statements are written and disseminated to a third party. The law of slander comes from ancient times when most information was circulated by word of mouth, and a rumor could change someone's life.
Libel is defamation in a permanent form (e.g. written), slander is temporary (e.g. spoken). With some exceptions, it is normally necessary to prove actual loss to bring a slander claim, whereas in libel claims you will normally automatically be entitled to compensation (provided that the 'serious harm' test is met).
Slander can be hard to prove, as the complainant must show the slanderer was driven by malice and knew their claims were false. Slander is different from libel, which are false statements made through print or broadcast.
