California Court of Appeal

E-mails sent to companies with which plaintiffs did business were not libelous; they expressed opinions and fully disclosed provably true facts on which the opinions were based. Since plaintiffs failed to show that a triable issue of fact exists as to whether the e-mails caused them damage, claims of interference with contractual relationships and interference with prospective economic advantage also fail.
