Two parts to a libel suit..... First part is guilt of falsehood and malicious intent. Second part is assessment and awarding of damages. Damage claims are made by the party libeled. Guilt has to be proved. Damages have to be demonstrated. Namely, how did the false and malicious statements result in loss revenue and future revenue of the aggrieved party. Did a libelous statement undermine share value? Did a libelous statement cause lost contracts or business? Did a libelous statement result in losing a job and the inability to make an earning? Questions like these are raised and must be answered affirmatively for damages to be awarded. Again the plaintiff makes and must substantiate his claims. Therefore, the exact awards are always case specific. The possibility exists that libel may be proved but no damages awarded. The possibility also exists that damages may be awarded and not recovered. Anyway....that's a simplified overview of this type of Civil suit. z
