(en) En common law, le concept de commentaire loyal (fair comment) est un moyen de défense à une allégation de diffamation. (fr) 公正評論或公允評論（Fair Comment）是在誹謗案中被告人常用的辯護理由，即被告人的問題說話是被告人真心相信是建基於事實，亦符合公眾知情權；比方說，有報刊發佈消息，說某城中名人到處留情，其後遭名人訴諸法庭，告以誹謗罪名，報刊可以辯稱它說的是公正評論，因為名人曾對外宣稱他在內地和台灣都有女朋友，而身為名人，他的行為公眾有知情權。在香港，最有里程碑意義的案件是一案，香港終審法院非常任法官李啟新勳爵（Lord Nicholls）說公正的評論應稱為誠實的評論，如果被告人能夠給法院證明他的言論是建基於誠實的信念，根據他當時所知道的發表，他就不應該承擔責任。在另一個香港終審法院案例中，烈顯倫常任法官也說過，如果評論是為了公眾利益，而誠實地說出一個社會人士普遍關心的問題，即使帶有誇張，亦可以接受。 (zh)
