XXSYS Technologies v. The State of California
Plaintiff appeals a judgment entered in favor of defendants the State of California and the California Department of Transportation (together Caltrans) after the court granted defendants motion for summary judgment on plaintiff's claims for slander, defamation/trade libel and discrimination. Plaintiff contends the court erred when it concluded the alleged statements were not defamatory per se and plaintiff was therefore required to prove special damages in connection with its defamation claims, and further erred when it concluded plaintiff's evidentiary showing of special damages was too speculative to withstand defendant's summary judgment motion. Plaintiff also asserts the court erred when it found there were no triable issues of fact on its discrimination claim. Court reversed the judgment.
