Slusarz v. Republican Publishing Co.

170 N.E.2d 322, 341 Mass. 729

Opinion

Order affirmed. This is an action of tort for libel. The declaration, which is in one count covering more than five pages of the printed record, contains a confused statement of arguments and recitals of evidence. The plaintiff appeals from an order sustaining a demurrer on the ground that the “declaration does not state concisely and with substantial certainty the substantive facts necessary to constitute a legal cause of action against -this defendant, substantially in accordance with the requirements of G. L. (Ter. Ed.) c. 231.” This ground is properly expressed. See G. L. c. 231, § 7, Second. The demurrer was rightly sustained. Flower v. Suburban Land Co. Inc. 332 Mass. 30, 32-33. Vigoda v. Barton, 338 Mass. 302, 303.
