group libel

Libel that defames a class of persons, esp. because of their race, sex, national origin, religious belief, or the like.

• Civil liability for group libel is rare because the plaintiff must prove that the statement applied particularly to him or her. Cf. hate speech under SPEECH. [Cases: Libel and Slander 21. C.J.S. Libel and Slander; Injurious Falsehood § 15.]
