How courts have described this case

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

• holding that the difference between the defamatory statement (that a person was “fired”) and the truth (that he had voluntarily resigned) could not cause a reasonable member of the public to think less of plaintiff
• explaining that because a defendant can claim truth as a defense against a claim for defamation, the \defendant is ... entitled to know precisely what statement is attributed to him\ both in the pleadings and in the evidence presented at trial
• stating \proof of truth of the statements alleged to be slanderous is always a defense\
