Netflix Beats Defamation Suit Over Panama Papers "Laundromat" Film
Pryor Cashman client Netflix beat defamation claims in a recent lawsuit related to "The Laundromat," a popular film that explored the Panama Papers scandal when a judge ruled that Netflix is protected by First Amendment law in the State of California. The ruling, handed down by U.S. District Judge Consuelo B. Marshall. "should be dismissed under the California Anti-SLAPP statute. The law's purpose is to bring an early end to litigation that aims to curb public participation," according to Law360.
News of the lawsuit has been also picked up by Hollywood Reporter, Bloomberg, Reuters, and the New York Times, to name a few.
The winning team was led by Partners Michael Niborski and Tom Ferber, with assistance from Counsel Felicity Kohn and Associate Michael Adelman.
