Libel per se? What's the difference?
Not a good one.
Counsel for the defense.
Thank you, your honor. The plaintiff has indeed done much for his company, as has my client. Both have served their capacities well, despite conflicts of personality.
However, I will prove it is the plaintiff, not the defendant, who was the aggressor, and that my client's actions were in defense, not libelous. While most of the claims he made were hyperbole, there is a kernel of truth to be uncovered.
I will prove the plaintiff has a history of thoughtless, malevolent actions against others, and that the legality of his actions should be under scrutiny, not my client's.
