You may remember reading here about a Chicago tenant who became the defendant in a $50,000 libel suit after she complained about her apartment building's management company on Twitter.
A Cook County judge yesterday dismissed the case in favor of the tenant, ruling that her tweet was too vague to be actionable. For instance, according to reporting by the Chicago Tribune, the tenant argued that although she mentioned the company by name, she made no indication of its location. Also, the company wasn't able to show the judge that it suffered damage to its reputation or its finances.
Are you pleased with the outcome?
