Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Florida
rules of slander
Can the following sentence be cosidered as slanderous?
Due to unresaonable and uncooperative demeanor as a Director of Garden Walk Inc.,we, the undersigned directors met and voted unanimously to remove you as a Director/Treasure.
The next paragraph deals with the return of checkbook etc.
The Letter I received is wrong as to the by-laws of the Association and therfore this is probrably a wirthless document as far as removing me as the Treasure. That will and can be dealt with in a diffent venue.
It may also be noted that the 6 indeviduals did not meet the letter was drafted by two indeviduals and then signed by the others.
Thank you for your answer.

Re: rules of slander
Whether a statement is slanderous depends on the particular facts and circumstances of the situation. If the statement has any underlying truth then it may not be considered slanderous. If the statement is completely untrue and made to create a false light then it may be considered slanderous if made to third parties. Also, if the statements were made in an official capacity to carry out the business of the directors there may be some director immunity issues that apply to the directors making the statements. It will ultimately depend on the particular circumstances of your case.
