A Vancouver man picked
up a newspaper some years
ago to. find himself
described in banner
headlines as the ‘‘Killer of
10,000 Jews’’.

The newspaper, acting on
remarks made in Austria by
a famous Nazi hunter,
proclaimed that the man, a
janitor of German. ex-
traction, had finally been
located in Vancouver.

It made great news but
there was one problem - the
accustion - was comletely
false. The janitor had, in
fact,merely cleaned stables
in oa Nazi concentration
camp.

The janitor was terrified
of reprisals and hid out
until his lawyer worked out
a deal with the embarrassed
newspaper; .the matter
would not go to court ifa
full retraction and apology
were. published and_ the
janitor
compensation.

VERY SERIOUS

Had the janitor pushed’a

libel suit against the paper,

he would. likely: have been ..

awarded more than $10,000
since the libel in this case
was very serious.

The newspaper could not.

fail. to realize that ‘it. had
defamed the janitor; that is,

THE REVIEW

Laywer Penny Bain

People’s Law — School
booklet on Libel and

“The concern

respect and
For example, if

but it. will. not injure is
reputation,’’

Bain writes, .‘*Mere
vulgar abuse ‘or insulting
name-calling is usually not
a defamation. Name-calling
is aimed at pride rather than
reputation. It may hurt the
plaintiff's feelings, but does
not lower his reputation in
the ‘community. For
example, if Harry calls Fred -
fat or stupid, it may only
hurt his feelings. However,
if Harry calls Fred a crook,
it may hurt his business.’’
