Barnes & Noble Knocks Out Defamation Claim by Fired CEO - Publishers Weekly

Panzer's trip in the Catosphere today took him to the Publishers Weekly site. With no digging at all he found a post about the lawsuit by Demos Parneros against Barnes and Noble. Panzer previously gave you an update on the case in July.

According to Andrew Albanese's post at the Publishers Weekly site, the judge in the lawsuit(s) filed by former CEO Demos Parneros' against Barnes and Noble has made a decision on the defamation of character portion. The judge determined there was no evidence the company's announcement of the former CEO's firing damaged his reputation. There are still to portions of the case to be decided. They are the breach of contract and breach of covenant of good faith. There's another hearing on October 8. The post has several links to previous posts with information about the case.

It will never end.

Panzer says, "There's still a long way to go to get a final decision."
