Additionally, individuals who have not suffered actual damages or who cannot identify a false statement made about them may also be unable to file a successful libel claim. Furthermore, certain types of statements, such as those made in court or legislative proceedings, may be protected by legal privileges, preventing libel claims based on those statements.
