Individuals who cannot file a civil libel claim typically include public figures or officials who must demonstrate "actual malice" to win their case, making it more challenging for them to prove libel. 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.
