Receiver Did Not Exceed Authority Related To Media Statement, 11th Circuit Holds

(June 14, 2018, 3:29 PM EDT) -- ATLANTA — The 11th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on May 24 affirmed a district court’s decision dismissing claims for libel per se and loss of consortium, finding that it did not err in finding that a court-appointed receiver acted within the scope of his authority when he authorized an attorney to speak about  whether a party to an underlying case knew about a Ponzi scheme being conducted by a company he controlled (Bruce C. Rosetto, et al. v. Charles Murphy, et al., No. 17-13279, 11th Cir.; 2018 US App LEXIS 13957)....
