Libel
To publish in print (including pictures), writing or broadcast through radio, television or film, a lie about another which will do harm to that person or his/her reputation, by bringing the person targeted into ridicule, hatred, scorn or contempt of others. It is a civil wrong and exposes the party that publishes the lie to be sued for damages by the person that can prove the statement about him/her was a lie. Publication need only to be made to one person, but it must be a statement that claims to be fact, and is not clearly identified as an opinion. Although it is sometimes said that the person that makes the statement must have been intentional and malicious, in reality it need only be obvious that the statement would do harm and is untrue. Proof of malice entitles the injured party to sue for general damages for damage to reputation, while an inadvertent libel limits the damages to actual harm called special damages. القاموس القانوني

Lis pendens
Latin for ‘suit pending’, it is a written notice that a lawsuit has been filed concerning real estate, involving either the title to the property or a claimed ownership interest in it. The notice is usually filed in the county land records office. Recording a lis pendens against a piece of property alerts a potential purchaser or lender that the property’s title is in question, which makes the property less attractive to a buyer or a lender. After the notice is filed, anyone who nevertheless purchases the land or property described in the notice takes subject to the ultimate outcome of the lawsuit. القاموس القانوني
