Defining SLAPPs and the Law 

When it comes to defining SLAPPs, there have been attempts by policymakers and researchers to do this. The beneath module explores the different definitions of SLAPPs and also provides some advice on how they are typically launched and how you can spot them.

There are also different guises under which SLAPP claims are initiated in different jurisdictions. In some instances, it might be through defamation while in other cases it might be through misuse of private information or other avenues. You can click below to examine different jurisdictions and how they define SLAPPs and explore the different legislative vehicles that they use to bring SLAPPs. You can also find out more about the work of intergovernmental organisations on SLAPPs, such as the Council of Europe.
