Florida Libel in small Claims - Come on someone at least guess
QUESTION 1:
In Florida, Seminole county, I have heard that Small Claims courts will allow Libel cases.
IS THAT TRUE?
QUESTION 2:
If true, can you receive both actual damages like lost money because of the libel and "intangible" losses like "emotional stress" or loss reputation. If you can get "intangible" who sets the amount?
QUESTION 3:
Can you combine a simple "you owe me money" suit the most common Small Claims suit with a libel suit? (i.e. my "you owe me money" is easy to win but the libel is more important. That way even if I can't prove libel, I achieve the decision for the money owed? NO LOSS IN GOING FOR BOTH, IF ALLOWED
Advice is welcome, as are opinions, or guesses!
Thanks
