Description
Once again we must decide the propriety of summary judgment in a public figure defamation action. The present case has its roots in the allegations of underworld involvement which were the subject of this court's opinion in Mehau v. Gannett Pacific Corp., 66 Haw. 134, 658 P.2d 312 (1983), and, in addition, involves basically the same defendants and election campaign presented in Rodriguez v. Nishiki, 65 Haw. 430, 653 P.2d 1145 (1982). Again we reach the same conclusion: this case presents genuine issues of material fact which require consideration by a jury. We therefore reverse the trial court's order of summary judgment in plaintiff's favor, affirm the denial of defendants' motion for summary judgment, vacate the jury's damage award, and order a complete new trial on all issues of the case.
