Justification.

5. In an action for libel or slander in respect of words containing two or
more distinct charges against the plaintiff, a defence of justification shall
not fail by reason only that the truth of every charge is not proved if the
words not proved to be true do not materially injure the plaintiff's
reputation having regard to the truth of the remaining charges.
