Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of the State of New York December 27, 1963 (Pappas v. Brink)

Appeal from an order of a Special Term, Supreme Court, Delaware County. We agree with the appellant that the words of defamation pleaded in this libel action are not libelous per se. But they are, on their face, sufficiently defamatory to justify a recovery if plaintiff has sustained special damage.
