Judge Allows Defamation Lawsuit Against Greenpeace to Proceed
23rd January 2019
A U.S. District Court judge allowed a forestry company’s defamation lawsuit against Greenpeace and affiliated groups to proceed Tuesday, but dismissed racketeering claims leveled against the environmentalists.
It’s the latest development in a multi-year legal battle between Resolute Forest Products and Greenpeace.
“Although the Judge did not allow all of Resolute’s claims to proceed, we are pleased the proceedings will now move forward on our defamation and unfair competition claims against Greenpeace,” Seth Kursman, spokesman for Resolute, told The Daily Caller News Foundation.
