Answer to Question 1

Satire is a form of literature that uses humor and imitation to ridicule individuals' moral and character traits and flaws. A parody is similar, but it can be found in literature, music, art or film for humorous purposes. These two methods have been used for centuries to criticize public figures and politics generally. Again, this involves the First Amendment concepts of freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the court-made right characterized as freedom of expression. Sometimes referred to as humorous speech, cases involving what would otherwise be considered defamatory statements are given much leeway by courts as long as a reasonable person would know that the statements are made in jest. Statements that are meant to be funny or encourage laughter are all part of living life and are not actionable in a court of law. This is how tabloid magazines and newspapers and their journalists have been able to defend many (but not all) claims against them for what might otherwise have been defamation.

Answer to Question 2

Leaves nothing further for the court to decide.

8 Interlocutory order.
