[Also, just in: The court has denied Scientology’s request to put in one more argument about its amicus brief for Danny Masterson, see below.]
On July 31, California’s Second Appellate District issued a ruling in Leah Remini’s lawsuit against the Church of Scientology. Although the court removed some of Leah’s specific allegations of defamation, not only did her case survive the attempt to gut it by the church, but the court also included some language we described as “historic.”
However, the court noted that this was an “unpublished” opinion, and while it was a pretty clear victory that applies to Leah’s lawsuit, that designation could make it tougher for other people suing Scientology to benefit from it.
Leah wanted to do something about that, and last week her attorneys formally asked the appeals court to make the opinion “published,” submitting a detailed argument that we asked our expert, TX Lawyer, to look at. But before we could get a story out about it, the court indicated that it was denying Leah’s request, and without explaining why.
Here’s what TX Lawyer had to say about Leah’s request, and the court turning it down.
