BALBOA ISLAND VILLAGE INN, INC v. LEMEN Part I
Permanent injunction prohibiting defendant from repeating certain defamatory statements about plaintiff was overly broad where it applied not just to defendant but to "her agents, all persons acting on her behalf or purporting to act on her behalf and all other persons in active concert and participation with her" even though there was no evidence that anyone other than defendant personally defamed plaintiff, and the injunction did not provide for defendant to be able to present her grievances to government officials and barred defendant from initiating any type of contact with a known employee of plaintiff anywhere at any time regarding any subject. Defendant's right to free speech would not be infringed by a properly limited injunction prohibiting defendant from repeating statements about plaintiff that were determined at trial to be defamatory.
