Lies told during court testimony are protected and cannot form the basis of a defamation claim. This protection exists to ensure that people can testify without fear of being sued. However, the protection applies only inside the courtroom. If the same statements are repeated outside of court, they may be considered defamation and legal action may be available. Wade Litigation helps clients understand when statements are protected and when they can pursue a claim.
