This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex legal landscape of defamation and verbal injury, offering a comprehensive guide to the intricacies of this area of Scottish law. Published in 1894, the book delves into a legal field that was becoming increasingly relevant in the late 19th century. The author acknowledges the absence of dedicated Scottish works on the subject since Mr. Borthwick's publication nearly seventy years prior, recognizing the growing need for a modern analysis of the law. The book thoroughly examines the elements of defamation, distinguishing between "defamation proper" and "verbal injury," and exploring the characteristics that define each. It discusses the various ways in which defamatory imputations can be made, including through language, pictures, statuary, or acts. The author also explores who can sue for defamation and who can be sued, and delves into the nuances of "privilege," which can protect individuals or institutions from liability. The book also examines the concept of "veritas" or truth, and its role in the law of defamation. The author emphasizes that while truth is a defense, it must be proven effectively, and lays out the legal requirements for doing so. Finally, the book explores the role of the judge and jury in defamation cases, addressing issues of damages, mitigation, and procedural considerations. The book's insights into the law of defamation provide a valuable resource for understanding the legal framework surrounding this complex and often challenging area of jurisprudence. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
