Can a proper retraction be given in a defamation action?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from Den Norske Ameriekalinje Actiesselskabet v. Sum Printing & Publ'g Ass'n, 122 N.E. 463, 226 N.Y. 1 (N.Y. 1919):
The case of Turner v. Hearst, 115 Cal. 394, 402, 47 Pac. 129, seems to hold that evidence of a proper retraction may be given both for the purpose of rebutting the inference of malice and also as evidence tending to prove a decrease of the actual damages which without it plaintiff would have sustained.
