Common Questions About Defamation Claims in New Brunswick

What is defamation?
Defamation is a false statement presented as a fact that harms a person’s reputation. Defamation can take two forms: libel, which is a written or published false statement, and slander, which is a spoken false statement. In the context of the internet and social media, most defamation cases involve libel.
A defamation lawyer in New Brunswick can provide the expert guidance and representation you need to protect your reputation and seek justice. They can help you assess the merits of your claim, gather evidence to support your case, send cease and desist letters to the defamer, and represent you in court if necessary. With their in-depth knowledge of defamation law and strong advocacy skills, a defamation lawyer can be your powerful ally in fighting for your rights and restoring your reputation.
In New Brunswick, the time limit for filing a defamation claim, known as the statute of limitations, is generally two years from the date the defamatory statement was published or communicated. However, there may be exceptions or factors that can extend or shorten this time limit, so it’s crucial to consult with a defamation lawyer as soon as possible to ensure that you don’t miss any important deadlines and to protect your legal rights.
