Lawsuit against negative Yelp review settled outside court

Christopher-Norberg

A lawsuit filed against a patient who wrote some negative review against Yelp, has been settled outside the courtroom, said the defendant attorney. Christopher Norberg was sued Steven Biegel after he ignored his request to discuss his post. The details of the settlement remain classified. In a post after the settlement, Norberg said:

A misunderstanding between both parties led us to act out of hand. I chose to ignore Dr. Biegel’s initial request to discuss my posting. In hindsight, I should have remained open to his concerns. Both Dr. Biegel and I strongly believe in a person’s right to express their opinions in a public forum. We both encourage the Internet community to act responsibly.
