Description
This appeal arises from a six-count petition filed by plaintiff Joseph A. May (May), a practicing dentist, and his wife, plaintiff
Glenda Scoville (Scoville), against the Greater Kansas City Dental Society (Dental Society), and defendant Dr. Robert L. Nelson
(Nelson), the president of the Dental Society. The trial court dismissed all counts on the defendants' motion to dismiss. All six counts asserted by plaintiffs May and Scoville arise from the publication of an article in a newsletter written by
defendant Nelson. Four counts of the petition are actions on behalf of plaintiff May: libel per se, libel per quod, interference
with economic advantage, and director's negligent supervision of an officer. Plaintiff Scoville alleges two causes of action:
intentional infliction of emotional distress and the wrongful death of an unborn child. Both of plaintiff Scoville's claims
are based on the miscarriage of a three- month fetus which she alleges occurred after reading the subject article.
