The defendants in Michael Irvin’s defamation lawsuit have just answered the allegations against them and revealed their affirmative defenses to the claims in Irvin’s Arizona Complaint. In this video, we’ll look at highlights from Marriott’s Answer, which is virtually identical to the Answers that the other Defendants filed on April 3.
So what exactly is the purpose of an answer? The basic purpose of an answer is to let the plaintiff and the court know which factual allegations in the plaintiff’s complaint the defendant admits are true, and which allegations the defendant denies. This helps to narrow the issues in dispute and the scope of discovery later in the case.
According to the Court’s docket sheet for this case, as of April 3, Defendants Jane Doe and Lee Ann Vinciguerra did not file Answers. The Return of Service filed in the record of this case states that Ms. Vinciguerra was served with the summons and Irvin’s Complaint on March 14.
As of April 3, the clerk’s record in Irvin’s case does not contain any evidence that Irvin has served his accuser, Jane Doe, yet. This is unusual. If you’d like me to make a video on what may happen next to these two Defendants, let me know in the comments section.
On April 3, Marriott, Renaissance, the bar manager, and one of the Renaissance employees who investigated Jane Doe’s accusations of misconduct toward Irvin filed separate Answers with the Arizona state court in which the case is now pending. Because the same law firm is defending all four of these defendants, their Answers are virtually identical.
If you watched my video where we reviewed Irvin’s Arizona complaint, you may have noticed that his Complaint contained numbered paragraphs.
As you’ll see in this video, the numbered paragraphs in each Defendant’s Answer match the numbered paragraphs in Irvin’s Complaint.
In this video, we’ll look at highlights from Marriott’s Answer, including the facts that it admits are true, the facts that Marriott denies, and the alleged facts about which Marriott claims to lack knowledge.
In a follow-up video, I’ll review the affirmative defenses that the Defendants pled in response to Irvin’s claims against them for defamation and tortious interference.
