This problem is based on the tort of defamation and particular libel which is a defamatory
representation is some permanent form as it is in this case.
Libel is actionable per se that is, Mrs. Rose Brown is not obligated to establish loss or damage.
It is evident that Parrot Daily Newspaper defamed Mrs. Rose Brown by making these
allegations. The statement in question is defamatory in the ordinary sense, they refer to Mrs.
Rose Brown, were published by the newspaper and the publication was maliciously made in
that the Newspaper did not bother to ascertain the factual situation.
My advise to Mrs. Rose Brown is to sue the newspaper and the proprietor in damages for
defamation.
The action must be instituted within one year of publication of the defamatory
representation.
