No, it is not very hard to prove. If you look up the part that states what classifies as labeling in the constitution act and match it to your situation a good judge would understand it and rule it for you. A bad judge would find ways to discredit it even though he or she knows that you are correct and within the law. Usually when they use it against you, it means that they are not being bias and they are with the other party and they are hoping for the other party to win. Going to hire courts won't help because if it is decided for you to fail all parties already agreed on it and it is a waste of time for you and a lot of negative energy that will drain you because they will keep it up until you are totally drained and eventually you give up or kill yourself from all the stress they have caused you and the realization that there is no justice in this world.

a good example of labeling that should be illegal under our law but is overlooked is when doctors label their patients and call it a mental disorder to bypass the law. There is no lupul to the law. A good judge with integrity should know that. Especially when someone is getting hurt by it. Another example is when the government calls regular good citizens that report illegal acts "whistleblowers". They should know that labeling is illegal. When a government official breaks the law the punishment should be double or triple the punishment of a regular citizen because they have studied the law, they know the law and they are in a position of power.

Is libel illegal?

Libel is a civil issue. We tend to reserve the terms "legal" and "illegal" for criminal actions. In civil law, we use the term "liable". In other words, if someone is guilty of a libelous action, they are subject to liability for any damages resulting from the libel. You can file a civil suit for libel but make sure you can meet your burden of proof, and make sure you can prove your damages. Being angry over libel is not, alone, enough to take it to court.

Yes but it is extremely difficult to prove libel because you have to prove actual malice was intended and that the newspaper knew the information was false but continued to publish it.
