The Consultation Paper sets out the LCO’s preliminary analysis and questions in this important area of law. This Executive Summary accompanies the LCO’s formal Consultation Paper on this project. The LCO’s Defamation in the Internet Age project considers whether or how defamation law should be reformed in light of fast-moving and far-reaching developments in law, technology and social values. Introduction to the LCO’s Defamation in the Internet Age Project More information about the LCO can be found at B.
