Cape Cod Blogger Sued for Libel
Peter Robbins, a blogger who writes about public issues on his Robbins Report blog, has been sued for libel by a lawyer and his client in relation to his post that criticized them for their activity that delayed the dredging of a small harbor. The Robbins Report is one of hundreds of blogs hosted by Cape Cod Today.
Jim Kinsella, the Managing Editor of Cape Code Today, wrote about the case here<?a>:
In a case filed in Barnstable Superior Court, Joseph F. Dugas of Sunset Lane and his attorney, Paul Revere III of Centerville stated that in the wake of a March 11 posting by Robbins on Cape Cod Today and a subsequent comment by a person writing under the name of "noggin," Dugas and Revere had "suffered damage to their reputations, businesses and employment, and sustained emotional distress."
Dugas and Revere are seeking a trial by jury and compensatory damages.
