CBS Pulls Out of Suit Against DC

Attempt to Get Restraining Order Fails

By Editorial Staff
On April 3, 2003, Chiropractic Benefit Services (CBS) filed a lawsuit accusing Dynamic Chiropractic of publishing an article that contained misinformation. In addition to the lawsuit, CBS also filed for a temporary restraining order to prevent DC from publishing any articles regarding CBS.

When the court heard the motion for the restraining order, the judge specifically asked CBS for legal precedence that would allow him to restrain a national newspaper from publishing news about CBS. When the CBS lawyers failed to provide even one case, the judge made it clear he had no intention of granting the restraining order.

Having lost the first round, CBS quickly decided not to pursue further action. Before DC could even respond, CBS filed to dismiss the lawsuit on May 7, just 34 days after it was filed.
