Opinion
September 14, 1998
Appeal from the Supreme Court, Rockland County (Meehan, J.).
Ordered that the order is affirmed insofar as appealed and cross-appealed from, without costs or disbursements.
Contrary to its contention, the plaintiff failed to state a cause of action to recover damages for injurious falsehood. In particular, the plaintiff's general allegations of lost revenues and "increased massive staff effort" did not satisfy the requirement of pleading special damages with particularity ( see, Jonas v. Faith Props., 221 A.D.2d 959; L.W.C. Agency v. St. Paul Fire Mar. Ins. Co., 125 A.D.2d 371).
We have examined the parties' remaining contentions and find them to be without merit.
