Defecation of Character

I have received a couple of links that help explain libel and slander law in Ontario. It seems that Sharon Bowers somehow is under the impression that American laws apply to her when Ontario laws are much more protective of people's reputations. It seems to me that anyone would have an open and shut case and that Sharon believes that being "impecunious" is some sort of protection.

Proving a Claim in Libel and/or Slander

In order to initiate a claim of libel or slander in an action for defamation, the allegations must prove the following:

i) The statements must be made to a third party. Where a statement has been made and no one has read it aside from the individual, organization or corporation about which the statement has been made, the statement cannot be considered libellous;

ii) The statements must be made specifically about individual, corporation or organization in question. It must be reasonably inferred that the statement that was published could reasonably be inferred to be discussing to or referring to that individual, corporation or organization.

iii) Finally, the statement made must be considered defamatory, i.e. the statement must be false and disparages the reputation of the individual, corporation or organization. 

This is from this link.

And here is another link that helps clarify the law for people.

I guess I shouldn't talk, but Sharon knows the situation. All she has to do is stop defaming innocent people, and since no one has made any effort to protect their reputation, all we can do is try to hose her down.
