Most of the defamation claims brought by Canadian art authenticator Peter Paul Biro against the New Yorker had to be dismissed, a federal court ruled. As the court explained, “There is little question that a reader may walk away from the Article with a negative impression of Biro, but that impression would be largely the result of statements of fact that Biro does not allege to be false. There can be no claim for an overall defamatory impact from the reporting of true statements beyond the specific defamatory implications that may arise from those specific statements.” Biro v. Conde Nast, 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 112466 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 9, 2012).
