Answer to Question 1

Immunity from a suit in the absence of malice is known as qualified privilege. Privilege can be absolute or qualified. Public employers may enjoy an absolute privilege or sovereign immunity from lawsuit. Private employers have a qualified privilege, meaning they are protected from lawsuit if they speak without malice.

Answer to Question 2

The term per se connotes that the third person to whom the defamation is communicated can recognize the damaging nature of the communication without being apprised of the contextual setting in which the communication was made.
