Description

This case arises from a series of allegedly defamatory newspaper articles in The Arizona Republic, a newspaper published by Phoenix Newspapers, Inc. (defendants). The articles asserted, inter alia, that plaintiff Dale Dombey (Dombey) had engaged in various improprieties while acting as the insurance agent of record for Maricopa County. At trial, the jury found the statements to be false and defamatory. The court of appeals affirmed Dombey's judgment but ordered a new trial on the issue of damages for his company, Dombey, Inc. Dombey v. Phoenix Newspapers, Inc., 147 Ariz. 61, 708 P.2d 742 (App.1985). Because of important first amendment questions, we granted review on some of the issues. Rule 23, Ariz.R.Civ.App.P., 17A A.R.S. We have jurisdiction pursuant to Ariz. Const. art. 6, § 5(3) and A.R.S. § 12-120.24.
