That's what they're called in the South.
No, let's make it just very simple.
He cannot refile the lawsuit under the same theory that he filed the lawsuit under originally.
What the court said is you cannot use the filing of a lawsuit and the things that somebody puts there as your basis for defamation at any point in time.
Because what it would do is it would have a chilling effect.
It would stop people from filing lawsuits.
And that's not what we want to do.
Because if somebody has done something poorly against you, you should have the right to file a lawsuit against them.
Now, separately, if he comes with a different theory, if he says it wasn't the stuff that's put in the lawsuit, then yes, he could bring it.
And he's going to have one massive problem if he misses that.
And we've talked about that before in the statute of limitations.
You have two years, one year, depending on the time that the alleged conduct happened to file your lawsuit.
So if he goes back to the time of the first thing she says that was defamatory, the response will be that was three years ago or four years ago, whatever.
You are past the statute of limitation.
So you have lost your right to bring any type of lawsuit against me whatsoever.
