Defamation: Law Procedure and Practice

This edition of David Price's text provides a clear and practical guide to the law and practice of defamation. Its structured approach should make it an ideal source of reference for both defamation specialists and for all those - practitioners and non-practitioners alike - who need a guide to the substantive law and procedure. This edition considers the many recent changes in the law and practice, including new case law under the Defamation Act 1996 and the implications of the new defamation pre-action protocol. It also contains three chapters on defamation and the CPR, the Internet, and the the Human Rights Act 1998 respectively.
