Media Ethics/Media Law

Sky Development tried to file a suit on Vistaview Development for “misrepresenting the number of units in a condo tower Sky purchased from Vistaview last year.” The suit was dismissed after the judge claimed that the text messagining between two Sky development officials during court was “completely… absolutely outrageous.” One of the Sky officials happened to be on the witness stand while texting. This case goes to show that it’s very important to allows follow procedural rules.
