Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Decade in the History of Newspaper Libel: A Paper Read at the Annual Meeting of the Canadian Press Association Held at Ottawa, March 6th-7th, 1892, and Published by the Association for General Circulation It has been well said that "the law of libel, being a case-made law, is the outgrowth of public opinion. Every legislative modification, attempted has been to cure some admitted grievance, or to formulate the principle of a decision. It is thus the product of the age evolved from the wants of society, and the shape and form it has taken are due to the varying phases of popular feeling." By case-made law is meant that state of the law which is the growth and outcome of judicial decisions - "the problem ever suggesting itself and calling for solution being to find the quantity of liberty and the species of restraint which will secure to the press the greatest amount of free discussion consistent with the tranquillity of the community and the safety of private character." The process by which the law has been modified in a very long series of years has been very gradual. Many of the changes have been the result of changes in public sentiment with respect to matters to which it relates, and with scarcely any legislative interference. Other changes, however, there have been - and the remark applies particularly to Canada and its Provinces, Ontario especially - which have been due to the direct intervention of the Legislatures, Dominion or Provincial. These last amendments have been brought about mainly by the newspaper press itself, ably represented, we are bound to say, by the members of this Association, who, having found their duties and functions hampered and harassed by mischievous or unscrupulous persons, have at different times secured such changes in the law as they believed would better safeguard the rights and liberties of journalism.
