How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• determining that public record of unsatisfied judgment and impairment of credit rating as a result of pending litigation did not satisfy special injury requirement
• having one’s personal and business affairs examined in the course of discovery is an inconvenience “common to most lawsuits” and is not special in nature
• “judgment entered by the circuit court in a prior action constituted conclusive evidence of probable cause for instituting that action, even though that judgment was subsequently reversed on appeal”
• litigation inconveniences that are common to most lawsuits do not constitute special injury
• where the plaintiff was forced to spend time and money to defend himself and his personal and business affairs were examined in the course of discovery, such “litigation inconveniences” did not constitute special injury, since they are “common to most lawsuits”
