Slanderous For Honor In Nevada

Q: What is the libel proof plaintiff doctrine?

Being libel-proof means, quite simply, that the plaintiff&#039;s reputation is so bad that any false statement could not lower that person in the eyes of the community any further. The thought is that such a plaintiff&#039;s claim must fail because that plaintiff has suffered no harm as a result of the false statement.
