Question $35(2$ points$)$

At a social club meeting that was held to discuss an environmental problem in a community, Brown made a speech in favour of a particular course of action that he thought the club should follow. Smith, who did not like the suggestions made by Brown, also made a short speech in which he called Brown an "idiot," and his suggestions "rubbish." Defamatory statements made at social club meeting are generally considered to be less serious than defamatory statements published in a newspaper or magazine.
