 This book is focused for those who wish to begin their insight into the makings of defamatory matter. Often confused with the diminution of the right to expression, the law of Defamation actually protects this right, especially the right to speak the truth. With the evolution of time and technological devices, defamatory matter today has acquired itself a more 'global presence'; it is capable of reaching mass numbers at accelerated speeds. Although the Law of Defamation today has become more challenged but its principles remain valid - for 'cessante ratione legis cessat ipsa lex' (when the reason for the law ceases, the law itself ceases)
