“Here are Michael Mann’s (well his lawyers) responses to pleadings for dismissal by CEI and National Review.” To See More....go to......[Rabbet Run]
My Take – I wish the CEI and National Review all the best, but I do wish someone would take this to court. I am inclined to think that the Bell suit is the one to do it. I don't know what is happening in the Bell suit but that one may well be the killer suit for Mann since Ball didn’t choose the ‘fair comment’ defense. Ball has decided his defense will be the truth. In Canada this is called;
“The Truth Defense to Libel”, which “places a higher – more onerous – evidential burden on the parties. This means any and all evidence demanded by either party in the ongoing discovery process must be revealed. So effective can the “truth defense” be that some cynics refer to it as the “scorched earth” defense.”
I have been following this from the beginning and I have saved the posts and articles dealing with this on a side page that I call * The Mann Chronicles . You may wish to peruse them.
