slander via SECTION 527.6(B)(3) and 46(3)

What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? CA

I have been accused of violating section 527.6(B)(3) OF CA code of civil procedure and section 46(3) of the CA civil code.

Can someone explain what these codes are?

California Code section 527.6 (B)(3) is an harassment charge, whereby unlawful violence, a credible threat of violence, and a knowing and willful course of conduct that alarms, annoys, or harasses a person and that serves no legitimate purpose is alleged.

The course of conduct must be such as would cause a reasonable person to suffer substantial emotional distress and must actually cause substantial emotional distress.

Upon the filing of a petition under this section, the person filing may obtain a temporary restraining order (with or without notice to the person who is allegedly harassing, if great or irreparable harm may result otherwise). Within 15 days, or 22 days if a TRO has been issued, a hearing on the injunction will be held. The person accused of harassment may file a response that explains, excuses, justifies or denies the alleged harassment or the person accused may file a cross-complaint.

As to California Civil Code 46(3), the section on slander, this is charged when a person has been directly injured with respect to his office, profession, trade or business by an imputation of general disqualification in those respects of which the office or other occupation peculiarly requires, or by an imputation of something with reference to this office, profession, trade or business that has a natural tendencey to lessen its profits.

So, basically, you are charged with harassment and the slandering of some sort of business whereby the person harassed and slandered has felt threatened in some way by your actions and his business reputation has suffered as a result.

Thank you for the response. I will consult an attorney about my case to dive further into the details.

I think consulting an attorney is definitely the wise thing to do, infocus.

And who accused you?

I do not see how the answer to that question has any relevance to the question infocus posted here, seniorjudge, however if you review the other threads started by infocus you can get a pretty good clue from those.

Yes it does make a difference who is accusing him of this; but I see what you mean about his other posts.

Seniorjudge, I can see the relevance to infocus in knowing who is accusing him of slander and harassment (I suspect he already knows the answer to that, however), but how does knowing who the accuser is make a difference to the answer to his question about what he is being accused of???

And, infocus, it might help us all here if you kept all of your related posts to one thread, so we don't have to search your post-history each time to make the connections. Thanks.
