Defamation

Defamation is any false communication that damages a person's reputation. Defamation regarding a person's business or profession is "per se," which means damages are presumed. 

Defamation is any intentionally false communication, written or spoken, that exposes a person to hatred, contempt, ridicule, causes him to be shunned or avoided, or has a tendency to injure him in his occupation.  Defamation when written is called libel, and when spoken is called slander.
