APPEAL FILED IN DISMISSAL OF LIBEL SUIT AGAINST BOSTON GLOBE
Date: 27 April 1986
AP
John R. Lakian, a Republican candidate for Governor of Massachusetts in 1982 whose libel suit against The Boston Globe was dismissed last summer, has filed an appeal seeking to be declared the winner in the case and to be awarded nominal damages. In a 70-page brief filed with the Massachusetts Appeals Court, Mr. Lakian argues that Judge George Jacobs of Superior Court made a mistake last Aug. 12 when he ruled for the newspaper after a jury found that three paragraphs in a 55-paragraph article published about Mr. Lakian in 1982 were false, defamatory and published recklessly. The jury did not award damages, which would have been customary along with such a finding, and both sides claimed victory before the judge's ruling. Mr. Lakian, who was a candidate in the Republican gubernatorial primary at the time, had asked $50 million in damages in his suit.
