TX Supreme Court. December 4th. Water Well Owner vs. Oil Drilling Company

Tempers have flared. A Well owner claims contamination. A drilling company claims defamation. No one is happy. 

The water well owner claims 2011 tort reform protects his free speech to claim contamination.  Lawyers wants to clarification. Courts around Texas have not been applying the 2011 SLAPP reforms uniformly. Everyone wants to know the rules fo the game. [NYT]
