22. Axiam Inquisition (Inquisition) magazine published a news article about Paul Prude, a famous TV talk show host. The article said that Prude was a vengeful man who once kept actor Xavier Tiger off his program for ten years because Prude thought (falsely) that Tiger had leered at Prude’s wife. Inquisition’s source for this news item was Stan, a servant of Prude. Ed, the editor of Inquisition, knew that Stan was a crack addict and that the money Inquisition was paying him was important to Stan so that he could maintain his drug habit. A journalist of average professionalism would not have believed Stan’s report, but Ed had the unusual habit of believing people quickly and in fact believed Stan implicitly. Prude has brought a libel action against Inquisition, in which he has proved decisively that he never tried to keep Tiger off his show. May Prude recover?

13.  A man was visiting his investment counselor on the 20th floor of an office building. After the meeting, he got on the elevator going down and pressed the button for the lobby.

In order to survive a motion for summary judgment, what legal principle can he turn to for assistance?

Did defamation occur?

PART II: ESSAYS (RECOMMENDED: ONE HOUR EACH)This section contains two essays. Essay 1 Due to the long quarantine, Happy Co. wanted to provide its employees with something fun and memorable and decided to go on a retreat.  Happy Co. also decided to hire Indris Elba to make a surprise appearance at the retreat to further boost morale. Elba is a famous British actor who has starred in many movies and shows in the U.S., especially one about the city of Baltimore. He was supposed to enter the conference room during the first night of the retreat and provide an inspirational speech.  Everyone was excited. However, on the first night of the retreat, as everyone eagerly waited, Elba was a no-show and everyone became upset. Also, Elba was paid up front by Happy Co. for his appearance but none of the employees knew this. One employee, Phil, who was particularly upset at Elba’s no-show decided to create a custom T-shirt design that he immediately offered for sale on the internet.  The design was an instantly recognizable likeness of Indris Elba. Underneath his face it said, “STRINGER: BECAUSE THIS THIEF WILL STRING YOU ALONG”— with the asterisk referring to a footnote in small print on the T-shirt that said, “He’s not even from Baltimore!” Of course, this statement had no basis in fact. But given Elba’s popularity from the show The Wire Tap and his character in that show, Stringer Ball, the design struck many people as very funny. In fact, in just 24 hours, Phil had sold 100 t-shirts. Elba saw the t-shirt one day and became upset by it.  Discuss any claim or claims that Elba has against Phil and defenses, if any.
