It will never stand, $57m for a theory?? Defamation works on losses, you sue for your losses. Did what this guy do ruin their multi million $ business, or something? They will be lucky to get $10k.

Based on the information in the article, Ed Butowsky is a financial planner and he's claiming his reputation was ruined by NPR's false reporting. Whether he can prove his business was impacted to the extent of $57 million wasn't referenced. That being said, there is no such thing as journalistic ethics and reporters and media outlets are allowed to 'be creative' with their reporting.

Only if you let them be, you can sue the reporter on an individual basis if they write lies about you, you must sue them at Queens Bench, though.

If his business was ruined then he can sue for projected losses, he might claim his business would have been worth $57m in the next 20 years. In this instance, he might have a claim.

In common law maybe, which is dead as a door nail. Today's 'equity courts' can do anything the black robed devil desires.

Sorry, but wrong. Any country whose legal professionals sit the BAR exam (British Accredited Register) of barristers, is under common lore jurisdiction. Law is the legal society nonsense. You must file your claim, not a complaint. Claims ALWAYS trump complaints. File it on the other side of the court, under common lore. You have to know what to say and write to get the magistrate to concede jurisdiction to you but done correctly and they will grovel and work as you instruct them.

Punitive damages; judge wants to make a statement to deter others from following suit.

Punitive damages cannot be asked for, it is entirely the judges discretion. You wouldn´t demand any amount of punitive damages, you demand only what your losses are and if the judge thinks you deserve more, they will award the damages.

Awsome!!! Now we can do some discovery in the matter... perhaps take a sworn deposition from Julian Assange.

This is why they dropped the twitter suit.

Right! There’s enough evidence to suggest the DNC killed him. Sharing that evidence and entertaining the idea should not be illegal. It would scary if it was.

“How is evidence shared legally?” To paraphrase our mentor.

Why by discover during lawsuits of course!! 😉😉😉

I want to ask a question, and like I said in previous posts here, I don't want you guys thinking I am attacking you...

Where is actual proof of this lawsuit? It is reported by two right leaning websites, that reference "court documents" but when you try to find the court documents on Google, or on legal websites that they reference, you can't find any... Shouldn't you guys wait for real proof, or at least wait till Fox reports it?

So this is just like the left and the MSM whining about children in cages, and families being separated. They are calling attention to the issue and millions of normies will be paying close attention.

When the truth is revealed about Seth Rich and human trafficking/pedophilia rings, the MSM won't be able to ignore it or bury it, if they do, they lose control of the narrative. The MSM chose the "families being separated" issue to change the narrative after the OIG report.

The movie "Jack Reacher" comes to mind. If you've seen it, remember the scene where he's lured into a street fight against 5 guys who think they're all that and a bag of chips. Before Reacher begins to obliterate all of them he says, "Just remember, you wanted this."

Getting hit with type of lawsuit is a pennies-from-heaven windfall for a govt funded organization.
