Sarah Palin has announced a lawsuit against the NYT and i have a quick question, NYT has 2 classes of stock, Class A is publically traded and the families Class B which is not traded and really controls the company, Can Sarah Palin demand payment especially for punitive damages in Class B stock rather than cash, That would really get their attention and make them make real changes, I doubt that it can be done,
no
except in extremely exceptional circumstances
No.
Any settlement or judgement would likely be paid by the company’s errors and liability insurance coverage.
In a word — no. Suits for damages are limited to monetary remedies.
Of course, as South Park pointed out, she could sue them in England. LOL.
I don't know how she could claim jurisdiction, but I like the idea. The company I work for did major business in Brazil, and what a pain in the ass that is. Everyone is venal. One of our local representatives was recorded on the phone as saying of a legislator, "This guy just wants a suitcase full of money." It created a major scandal in Brazil (spare me the sanctimony) and the legislator sued in England. Needless to say, we dropped the local rep like a hot potato, because the suit might well have been successful.
Brazil will remain poor as long as they have to pay a corruption tax on everything.
no NYT can pay however they see fit.
It would be interesting if Sarah owned controlling share of NYT
Considering how just about every outlet of the MSM took part in anti-Sarah defamations, lawsuits like this one could keep her busy for the rest of her life.
Answer is No.
