libelous per se

libelous per se
Written or printed words of such kind that when applied to a person they will necessarily cause injury to him in his personal, social, official, or business relations of life, so that legal injury may be presumed or implied from the bare fact of publication. 33 Am J1st L & S § 5. Written or printed words so obviously hurtful to the person aggrieved by them that no explanation of their meaning and no proof of their injurious character is required in order to make them actionable. Jerald v Huston, 120 Kan 3, 242 P 472.
