17 April 2008 - 9:11am | Author: CP&DR Staff
The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has permitted a property owner’s defamation lawsuit against a San Diego County supervisor to go forward.
A divided three-judge panel overturned a lower court’s ruling that Manufactured Home Communities’ lawsuit against Supervisor Dianne Jacob was a SLAPP suit. The Ninth Circuit determined that a jury could find some of Jacob’s challenged statements were “actionable as provably false assertions of fact.”
