A defamation case arises when someone has made false and derogatory statements against another person or organization, either in the form of slander (expressed verbally) or libel (through printed media or written) that resulted in economic loss or damaged reputation.

In recent years, defamation cases, mostly related to social media have drastically increased due to the advances in technology and the accessibility of the internet, mobile phones, and computers. Since social media seem to be an informal platform, some people do not consider the danger of inappropriate and reckless posting online. In fact, in the UAE, defamation cases done through social media are more risky and damaging, thus have more severe penalties like jail term of up to two years and/ or a fine of up to AED 20,000/- due to its broader and faster reach.

Filing for a defamation case goes through several legal procedures that would need the involvement of Defamation Lawyers. Our Defamation Lawyers in Dubai provide a wide range of services such as but not limited to:

FAQ's

General Guidance On This Area Of Law. Advice On Your Own File Requires The Documents And Any Case Reference.

Is Defamation A Criminal Matter In The UAE?

Yes. Insult and slander are criminal offences, and where the words were published by electronic means the cybercrime legislation applies, which treats online publication more seriously than a private exchange.

Do WhatsApp Messages Count As Publication?

A message sent to a group, or forwarded on, is commonly treated as publication. A private one to one exchange may still found an insult complaint. Screenshots showing the number, the date and the full thread are the usual evidence.

How Is A Defamation Complaint Filed In Dubai?

The complaint is registered with the police or through the public prosecution channels, supported by the material complained of and proof of the identity of the sender. The file then proceeds to the Public Prosecution for a decision on referral.

Can A Defamation Complaint Be Withdrawn After Settlement?

Complaints of this type can generally be withdrawn by the complainant, and withdrawal at the appropriate stage brings the matter to an end. Settlement terms should be recorded properly rather than agreed informally.

Deal With A Defamation Complaint Properly

Send screenshots with visible dates and numbers, and the complaint reference if one has been issued.
