U.S. Chamber files amicus brief
November 06, 2006
NCLC urged the Supreme Court of Virginia to overturn a jury verdict against Raytheon for $1.85 million based on a finding that comments made in a performance evaluation were defamatory. In its brief, NCLC argues the candid expression of opinions within the employee evaluation process is indispensable to the operation of most businesses, and absent a reversal by the court, the judgment below will have a chilling effect on the operation of businesses in Virginia and elsewhere.
