“The elements of a cause of action [to recover damages] for defamation are a ‘false statement, published without privilege or authorization to a third party, constituting fault as judged by, at a minimum, a negligence standard, and it must either cause special harm or constitute defamation per se." Epifani v Johnson, 65 AD3d 224, 233 [2d Dept 2009]
If you can prove that a false statement was published and that the statement caused you harm, such as loss of business income you can obtain a monetary judgment. You can also obtain an injunction requiring the removal of the defamatory statements.
