Defamation law is a balancing act between freedom of expression and restitution for individuals harmed thereby. Almost all employment law defamation cases involve one person suing another for damages from defamatory statements, made intentionally in public, or there won't be a defamation case in employment law context.
In Employment Law Context, defamation can occurs in many forms. For instance, failure of employer to provide a letter of reference to an employee terminated without cause, and badmouthing, defaming, trashing the employee's professional reputation could sometimes be considered as a form of defamation. Filing a professional body disciplinary proceeding with the intent to cause harm and emotional distress to an employee could be viewed as another example of defamation in employment law context.
