Summary
Appeal from the Iowa District Court for Linn County, Ian K. Thornhill, Judge. AFFIRMED. Considered by Bower, C.J., and Badding and Buller, JJ. Opinion by Buller, J. (9 pages)
Plaintiffs David and Donna Walderbach appeal the grant of summary judgment in favor of Defendants Barb Rompot and Virginia Forest on the Walderbachs’ defamation and interference-with-contract claims. OPINION HOLDS: There is no genuine issue of material fact that the allegedly defamatory statements were substantially true, and the Walderbachs failed to generate a fact question on virtually all elements of their interference-with-contract claim, including the existence of a third-party contract.
