Defamation is generally described as the spreading of false information by one entity about another. There are two primary types of defamation in Ontario: Libel (written defamation) and Slander (oral defamation). The timelines for advancing these claims, and the legal mechanisms available for defending them are strict and differ greatly from other types of cases.
