Re: business libel

If what the supplier said was true you would not have a libel claim. However, depending upon facts you have not presented, you may still have a claim for intentional interference with business relationship. If what the supplier said was false, you may have both a defamation claim and an intentional interference claim. Get a consult with an attorney.
