U.S. Court of Appeals Case No: 99-3482
District of Minnesota
Civil case - torts. Statements made by defendant in connection
with the termination of the plaintiffs as insurance brokers did
not defame plaintiffs as the statements did not contain provably
false statements of fact; statements did not violate the
Minnesota Deceptive Trade Practices Act; statements did
not constitute tortious interference with business relationships;
legislation subsequently enacted to limit insurance companies'
ability to terminate employees for contacting government
agencies did not create a remedy for these plaintiffs;
terminations did not violate plaintiffs' employment contracts.
