KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Injurious Falsehood
Injurious falsehood is a tort involving false statements made maliciously that cause financial loss to another. Unlike defamation, the focus is on economic harm rather than damage to reputation.
The claimant must prove falsity, malice, and actual loss. This tort commonly arises in commercial disputes, such as false statements about a competitor’s products or business practices.
