Soussa v. Grant [1]

New Jersey real estate broker Ronald Soussa sued former Montville city council member Dan Grant for defamation over statements published on Grant's campaign website in 2005.  According to NJ.com [2],  Grant sent Soussa a retraction letter acknowledging that his website "wrongly stated that Soussa had an interest in a proposed day care center that he did not have."  It appears that Grant paid no money damages in return for the settlement.  

In the same lawsuit, Soussa sued former council member Marie Cetrulo for defamation over allegedly false statements included in a campagin flier.  Cetrulo paid $5000 in damages to settle the claim against her.  She also provided a retraction letter.
