Defamation law exists to protect the reputation of an individual and is predominately dealt with in the District Court or Supreme Court. This area of the law may be relevant if someone has publicly damaged your reputation or you are accused of damaging someone else’s reputation.
Typically, in today’s age of social media, it takes the form of defamatory comments made on internet sites such as Facebook or Instagram, but can, of course, take place elsewhere and in many other forms. In NSW, defamation law is governed by the Defamation Act 2005 (NSW) which requires that several elements first be satisfied before a finding of defamatory conduct can be found.
