RE:CIO-- Judge Dismisses Libel Suit Against Bloomberg L.P. -- >>>>>>Judge Dismisses Libel Suit Against Bloomberg L.P. SALT LAKE CITY, March 30 /PRNewswire/ -- Judge Dale A. Kimball of the United States District Court for the District of Utah has dismissed in its entirety a libel lawsuit filed against Bloomberg L.P. by Computerized Thermal Imaging. The suit alleged that Bloomberg News Reporter David Evans libeled the company in two stories from last summer that detailed the company's stock sale. Computerized Thermal Imaging sought over $100 million in damages. The court ruled that the statements were not libelous per se and did not meet the special damages requirement to be libel per quod. For a finding of libel per quod, the plaintiff must prove special damages. Computerized Thermal Imaging argued that the drop in stock price that coincided with the stories being published lowered the company's market capitalization and potential business deals. However, Judge Kimball ruled that a drop in market capitalization and alleged loss of future and potential business deals is not specific and concrete enough to show special damages.
