Rizzuto v. Nexxus Products Co.

How courts have described this case

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

• concluding defendants’ labeling of plaintiffs as “unscrupulous salespeople,” among other terms, was non-actionable opinion rather than statement of fact
• finding defendant's statements about \lying salesperson” and \rip you off” to be expressions of opinion
• in context of trade journal advertisement, phrases including \don't be conned\ are mere rhetorical hyperbole rather than accusation of criminal conduct and use of word \conned\ was an expression of opinion not giving rise to action for libel
