Syllabus

The trial court did not err by entering summary judgment in favor of appellees on their complaint seeking declaratory judgment and injunctive relief against appellants. Appellant, Charles Simpson, lacked standing to appeal the judgment on behalf of appellant, Montgomery County Voiture 34, La Societe des 40 Hommes et Huit Chevaux, and he did not demonstrate that the trial court failed to comply with R.C. 2727.02 and Civ.R. 65. Furthermore, the trial court did not err by entering summary judgment in favor of appellees on appellants' counterclaim and third-party complaint for defamation, because the allegedly defamatory statements were protected by a qualified privilege even otherwise, the statements were true, meaning that they were protected by an absolute privilege. Judgment affirmed.
