The meaning and "use of": libels
noun
- a published false statement that is damaging to a person's reputation; a written defamation. - The extent of publication is also very relevant: a libel published to millions has a greater potential to cause damage than a libel published to a handful of people.
- (in admiralty and ecclesiastical law) a plaintiff's written declaration. - The libel laws as they stand militate against doing this, because once a libel writ is issued by a complainant any apology is an admission of liability.
- defame (someone) by publishing a libel. - she alleged the magazine had libeled her
