Seaton v. Tripadvisor (8/22/2012)
STATUS:
Court dismissed libel suit.
E.D.Tenn.: Court Dismisses Libel Suit Against Tripadvisor Over Dirtiest Hotels List
"Tripadvisor's list is of the genre of hyperbole that is omnipresent. From law schools to restaurants, from judges to hospitals, everything is ranked, graded, ordered and critiqued...A reasonable person would not confuse a ranking system, which uses consumer reviews as its litmus, for an objective assertion of fact."
Opinion: Seaton v. Tripadvisor
