Collins v. WHA

Summary

The court affirmed the judgment after concluding that WHA waived its hearsay objection to the article by jointly listing it as an exhibit and framing the trial around its contents, truthfulness, and alleged statements. It also held that WHA's request to apply the statutory damages cap was not ripe because insurance coverage remained unresolved. Finally, the court upheld the denial of attorney fees because the unsuccessful counterclaims were supported by some evidence and were not frivolous or brought in bad faith.
