  1. Richards v. Union Leader Corp. & a.

    2024 N.H. 49 (N.H. 2024)   Cited 4 times
    In Richards v. Union Leader Corp., 324 A.3d 908 (N.H. 2024), the plaintiff claimed that the defendant author's statement accusing the plaintiff of ''disseminat[ing], across multiple media platforms, white supremacist ideology'' was defamatory because the term ''white supremacist'' has an accepted meaning capable of being proven true or false and because the statement implied undisclosed defamatory facts.

  3. Attorney Gen. v. Hood

    2025 N.H. 3 (N.H. 2025)

    Resolving this dispute requires us to engage in statutory interpretation, and we review the trial court's statutory interpretation de novo. See Hynes v. N.H. Democratic Party, 175 N.H. 781, 787 (2023). We first look to the language of the statute itself, and, if possible, construe that language according to its plain and ordinary meaning.
