FAQ

See California Civil Code §§ 44, 45a and 46. Generally, it is a false statement of fact that is harmful to the person's reputation, is published, and is read or heard by someone other than the person being talked about. When the statement is made orally, it's called slander; a written statement is called libel.

2. Types of Slander: Simple and Grave Simple Slander refers to minor and less offensive defamatory statements. Grave Slander is characterized by statements that are particularly injurious to a person's honor and reputation.
