Legal Question in Employment Law in California
named in a court case
I was named and my reputation in my career defamed in a age-discrimination case where my abilities were impugned in order to prove the plaintiff was lying. The defendant's attorney attempted to contact me a year ago, then canceled our appointment and never attempted to contact me again. On 6/29/07 they filed an appeal that stated I was inefficient and untrained and was 'inferior' in the job. Is there anything I can do about this? It's almost libel and it's in a public document available on the internet to anyone who googles my name

Re: named in a court case
If you were named, did you defend? What happened?
Almost all your actions in response, after the case, would likely fail based on the Anti-SLAPP laws.
Re: named in a court case
I wanted to add, that the litigation privlege provides that statements made in the lawsuit would not be actionable as libel/slander.
