Ramunno v. Cawley

VEASEY, Chief Justice:

In this appeal we reverse, in large part, the decision of the Superior Court to dismiss the complaint under Superior Court Civil Rule 12(b)(6). The complaint asserted claims for libel and civil conspiracy against both media and non-media defendants. We rest our decision solely on pleading rules. A dismissal under Ride 12(b)(6) is proper only where the complaint, construed most favorably to the plaintiff, fails as a matter of law to state a claim on which relief can be granted. The trial court’s dismissal here does not meet that test.
