cargo insurance

libel per se
Libel per se is a defamatory statement that is actionable in itself. To constitute libel per se, the words themselves must be damaging to the affected person. As a result, words that can reasonably be interpreted as having another meaning do not constitute libel per se. Whether words of a publication are libelous per se is a question of law for the court.
