Hutchinson v. Proxmire green

1984Ed. 2d 411 , 99 S. Ct. 2675 , the Supreme Court questioned a Federal district court’s suggestion that in applying the actual-malice standard of the New York Times case, summary judgment probably was the rule rather than the exception.

1984The Supreme Court commented: “Considering the nuances of the issues raised here, we are constrained to express some doubt about the so-called ‘rule.’ The proof of ‘actual malice’ calls a defendant’s state of mind into question, [citation], and does not readily lend itself to summary disposition. [Citations.] In the present posture of the case, however, the propriety of dealing with such complex issues by summary judgment is not before us.” Hutchinson v. Proxmire (1979), 443 U.S. 111 , 120 n.9, 61 L.
