Personally I do not think NPD is a factor in your friend's question. If your friend has been, and is being slandered in a way he can prove, and this is causing him actual damage that he can demonstrate your friend should consider suing. If he cannot prove it he must, sadly, refrain, because to sue and lose would make things worse. In my experience, a court order for damages, to exceed four figures, can focus even the most obtuse of minds wonderfully on the advantages of respect for one's fellow man. The only realistic risk is that in suing he will promote and perpetuate slander that would otherwise be regarded as negligable. Slander vs. Libel - you can sue for either, the question is what is the damage done, can you prove both the action and the damage, and is the dollar amount worth suing for. Slander is verbal - libel is written. Narcissists are consummate and pathological liars. It is, therefore, very difficult to expose their lies as such. Engaging with a narcissist in any way, where you hope to "gain" something, is a futile endeavour. He will always sink to depths lower than your reasonable self could muster. You will only cause yourself more anguish. The N has no boundaries, so even if you spew the vilest venom, his will be worse. When you (understandably) feel vengeful, remember there is no punishment you can inflict which is worse than the hell he puts himself through everyday. He will dig his own grave and you should just let him do it while you remain at a safe distance. I agree with the answer above. Unless your lawyer can determine an actual financial reward and good probability of success, it's absolutely not worth it. Getting involved with a narcissist for any reason often leads to more troubles. People with NPD are 6-years-old at heart, and when attacked, they will act like one: irresponsible, and will give you more headaches. By the way, if you do win the case, he/she will most likely plot a sadistic revenge on you.

How do you sue a detective?
It depends on what you want to sue for. If the detective damaged or took a physical item with a value up to $5,000, then just file a case with your local small claims court (just ask at the local township courthouse) to try and recoup the item or the cash value. If there are other issues at play like defamation of character, slander, or some other damages that are not easy to quantify or do no involve physical damages, then you should find an attorney and let them file a civil suit on your behalf. A low value claim like slander will likely result in a quick, small cash settlement, while a more damaging claim like defamation of character that causes obvious damage to you or your business could go to trial for a jury to decide both if and how much money you get.
