Fairfax County Circuit Court April 24, 2007, Case No. CL-2005-3784 (Butler v. N.E.W. Customer Services Companies, Inc.)

BY JUDGE DENNIS J. SMITH

Plaintiff Kristen Butler filed this action for defamation against her former employer, N.E.W. Customer Services Companies, Inc., and her former co-worker, Kirsten Calhoon. On April 7, 2006, Judge Gaylord L. Finch overruled Defendants’ Demurrer, ruling that the alleged statements were statements of fact and therefore supported a cause of action for defamation.
