California Supreme Court Rules Bank Officer Liable for Slur
The California Supreme Court upheld a slander verdict against a Long Beach bank and its loan officer Russell Simpson, but reduced the $35,000 damages and sent the case back for new damages assessment. Justice Stanley Mosk concurred in affirming the verdict while disagreeing on the damage reversal, noting modern standards differ from those three decades old. Cunningham, a former Long Beach car dealer, testified Simpson insulted him over a car draft, contributing to his financial losses and sale at cost. The majority ruled the jury had ample opportunity to determine credibility and damages, with a presumption in favor of the judgment.
