New York Court of Appeals

Charles T. Woodruff, Appellant v. the Bradstreet Company, Respondent

October 8, 1889116 N.Y. 217

Summary

The New York Court of Appeals affirmed the dismissal of the libel action, holding that the false statement that a $4,000 judgment had been rendered against the plaintiff was not libelous per se and that, without alleged special damages, the complaint could not succeed.
