The plaintiff discharged the evidential burden by proving publication on the defendant's Facebook account, that the post referred to him and that, in its whole context, a reasonable reader would understand it to convey imputations that damaged his reputation; the defendant's caption did not remove the defamatory sting, therefore judgment for the plaintiff for libel and damages followed.
