Description

Certiorari was granted to the Court of Appeals for the above entitled case. The opinion below, which appears at 81 N.M. 14, 462 P.2d 148 (Ct. App. 1969), will not be set forth here except by reference. It was a libel action brought against the writer of a letter to an insurance company requesting that a refund premium not be sent to the agent (plaintiff), because "people cannot get money out of him * * * as he is threatening bankruptcy." The Court of Appeals held that this language was libelous per se since it had a tendency to adversely affect plaintiff in his business, trade, or profession, and thus a cause of action was stated even though special damages were not pleaded.
