APPEAL BOOK ENDORSEMENT

[1]

The appellant sued the respondent for defamation. The respondent moved
    for summary judgment dismissing the action on the grounds that the statements
    made were true. The motion judge granted summary judgment. The appellant appeals.

The appellant has not demonstrated that the motion judge applied
    incorrect legal principles. As to the findings of fact made by the motion judge
    at para.10 of his reasons, the record supported those findings.

We see no palpable and overriding error. The appeal is dismissed with
    costs payable by the appellant to the respondent fixed at $8000 all-inclusive.
