Infringement on the Right of Reputation: How to Protect Your Rights and Interests

Personal attack will not only hurt the victim's mind, but also have a serious impact on his daily life. This includes insulting, deliberately fabricating facts, slandering others, invading privacy, etc. This is legally called infringement of the right of reputation. The victim has the right to file a civil lawsuit, demanding that the infringer stop the infringement, restore his reputation, eliminate the influence, compensate the losses and apologize. Although reporting to the Education Bureau may have limited effect, filing a lawsuit is a feasible option.

Evidence is crucial.

In court, evidence is crucial. If there is no recording, you can find a witness. However, please note that students may be threatened by teachers and are unwilling to tell the truth.

Mediation out of court

If the prosecution lacks sufficient evidence or the injury is minor, the court may not accept it, but the mediator will mediate outside the court.

Deciding whether to prosecute needs careful consideration.

It should be noted that if you decide to take legal action, you may face the risk of breaking up your relationship with the teacher, and you may not even be able to continue studying in this school. Therefore, please think carefully before deciding whether to prosecute.
