AC42779 - Elder v. 21st Century Media Newspaper, LLC (Fair report privilege; “On appeal, the plaintiff claims
that (1) the evidence supporting the defendants’ motions for summary judgment
was insufficient, (2) the defendants failed to demonstrate actual reliance on a
government document or proceeding, (3) the court erred by finding that the
defendants’ publications were fair and accurate accounts of the government
document on which they claimed to have relied, (4) the defendants did not rebut
his claims of malice, which entitled him to a trial on the merits of those
claims, and (5) his right under article first, § 10, of the Connecticut
constitution to redress for injuries to his reputation and his right to a trial
by jury on that claim, defeat the fair report privilege. We disagree and,
accordingly, affirm the judgment of the trial court.”)
