A quick definition of colloquium:
A colloquium is a way to prove that a mean thing someone said was actually about you, even if they didn't say your name. It's also the special information you give at the beginning of a lawsuit to explain why the mean thing they said was really bad.
A more thorough explanation:
A colloquium is a legal term that has two meanings:
- It refers to the presentation of evidence that shows a statement is defamatory even if it doesn't mention the plaintiff by name.
- It also refers to the special circumstances that make a statement defamatory, which are included in a plaintiff's legal complaint.
For example, if someone writes an article about a company and says that "the CEO is a criminal," even if they don't mention the CEO's name, the CEO could argue that the statement is defamatory because it refers to them. This is an example of the first meaning of colloquium.
As for the second meaning, if the CEO decides to sue the person who wrote the article for defamation, they would need to include a colloquium in their legal complaint. This would involve outlining the specific circumstances that make the statement defamatory, such as the fact that it implies the CEO has committed a crime.
