Carl Critic has just announced his choices of the worst Hollywood actresses of the year, and Stella Starr has been named the wor

st of the worst. Carl's announcement, made in his weekly column titled "Random Musings by Carl Critic" and published in the local paper, claims that he believes her to have the least amount of talent in the movie industry and that she "can't act her way out of a paper bag" When Stella reads Carl's column, she immediately starts to cry hysterically and then decides to sue him. Does she have a valid case of libel? No, Carl committed slander, not libel. Yes, her crying proves injury. Yes, but only if his statements cause her to lose money by losing movie roles No, this was merely Carl's opinion.

Answer: No, this was merely Carl's opinion.

Explanation:

Labelling a statement as an opinion generally protects the person who said it from defamation suits however this is not always the case.

If the opinion is based on disclosed and well known facts, the action is free of defamatory or libel charges.

This seems to be the case in this scenario as his column seems to be based on the performances for the year.

Bottomline is, Stella cannot sue Carl for libel as it is his opinion.

In Ricci v. DeStefano, Ricci, a white firefighter, took and passed the City of New Haven firefighter's test, required of all app
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

The correct answer is A. In Ricci v. DeStefano, the Supreme Court ruled that an employer may not simply disregard a test based on unwanted results unless the test is shown to be biased or deficient.

Explanation:

Ricci v. DeStefano is a Supreme Court ruling of 2009, after a lawsuit by nineteen firefighters who claimed to have been discriminated against in terms of career development.  They denounced that they had been discriminated after having passed the admission tests and still had not been promoted, since no African-American candidate had passed the tests. They also denounced that they had not been promoted because the Fire Department did not want to promote a group of new recruits without including within it any member of racial minorities.

Finally, the Supreme Court established that said procedure violated Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, since in the case equal access to employment was not guaranteed (in this case, favoring minorities over white firefighters), for set different demands for purely racial reasons.
