Reputations Under Fire: Winners and Losers in the Libel Business

by David Hooper

In the light of increased public interest in the laws of libel, and the confusions and dramas recently involved, David Hooper's book aims to both inform and entertain. Can you sue for a bad reference, a bouncing check, or a parking ticket? Are you liable if other people repeat your libel? What do you have to prove to establish libel? There is libel in respect of a Christmas card, the corporation of McDonalds, the House of Nomura, Richard Branson, and Jeffrey Archer. In this book, even Hello magazine gets sued for libel—allegedly.
