Description
Our original opinion is withdrawn and this opinion is substituted therefore. This libel case involves an appeal by First State Bank of Corpus Christi and Roger Mize, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Bank, from a judgment in favor of the plaintiff, Arthur E. Ake. Ake brought suit upon an allegedly libelous statement made by the Bank in a fidelity bond claim that was signed and sworn to by Mize as Chairman of the Board of Directors. The jury found that the statement in question was false when it was made and that Mize, the Chairman, believed it to be false when he signed the claim form. Publication of the allegedly libelous statement was established as a matter of law. Judgment based on the jury verdict was rendered in favor of Ake for $450,000.00.
