One not two year SOL for business related defamatory statements by a fellow employee


A clever attempt to avoid the 1 year statute of limitations for defamation, claiming that a defamatory statement by a fellow employee that cost an employee his job, was 'business disparagement' with a 2 year SOL, was fortunately for the employer unsuccessful. Brod v. Newman, (Tx Ct. App - Houston [1st]) (10/17/02).
