Suarez Corp. v. Meeks [1]

Brock Meeks published a story about Suarez Corporation, a direct-mail company, in his electronic newsletter -- the "CyberWire Dispatch." The story included statements that one of the company's internet offerings was a "scam," and that the owner of the company was "infamous for his questionable direct marketing scams" and "a slick direct-mail baron." Suarez sued Meeks for libel in Ohio state court in March 1994. Before trial, in August 1994, the case settled for $64 -- that's right, $64 (to cover Suarez's court filing fees). Meeks made no apology, correction, or retraction, and he admitted no liability.
