What is Slander?

Slander is a false oral statement that damages the reputation of another person or business, resulting in economic and personal loss.

For example, while making a speech at a public meeting, a politician accuses her rival of committing a crime. When, in reality, there had been no crime committed.

Slander requires proof of the actual words spoken.

A statement must be presented as fact, not opinion, in order to be considered slander. The statement must be made to a third party.
