Summary
In North Dakota, you may have a defamation case if false statements harmed your reputation. You must prove the statements were false, caused harm, and were made without reasonable care to verify their truth. The statute of limitations for filing a defamation lawsuit is two years. In cases involving private individuals, you need to show negligence, meaning the person did not take reasonable care to verify the truth of their statements. For breach of contract issues, gather all relevant documents, including the contract and payment records, to assess if there was a breach. Consider consulting a local attorney for personalized advice on both defamation and breach of contract claims.Full Conversation
