Montana Supreme Court December 29, 1982, 82-050 (Williams v. Pasma)

MR. CHIEF JUSTICE HASWELL,

dissenting:

I would vacate the summary judgment and remand to the District Court for further proceedings.

The lynchpin of the majority opinion is that plaintiff Larry Williams is a public figure for all purposes as a matter of law. I disagree. In my view, this is a jury question precluding summary judgment.
