Indiana Court of Appeals
Mark Campbell v. Andrew Campbell and Campbell Research & Consulting, LLC
23A-CT-2178
Civil tort. Reverses the Hendricks Superior Court’s dismissal of Mark Campbell’s complaint of defamation and false light invasion of privacy against his son, Andrew Campbell. Finds that because Andrew Campbell has failed to prove that his statements were made in connection with a public issue, the anti-Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation defense does not apply and the trial court erred in dismissing Mark Campbell’s complaint. Remands the case to the trial court to continue the litigation of Mark Campbell’s claims and Andrew Campbell’s counterclaim.
