David Stokes v. Oconee County
David Stokes, a former county building official, sued Oconee County Council members Wayne McCall and Edda Cammick for defamation regarding statements made at a committee meeting, alleging their conduct fell outside the scope of their official duties. The Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's rulings, granting the council members summary judgment and denying Stokes's motion to amend his complaint. The appellate court declined to address the council’s motion to quash Stokes's subpoena for the County Administrator, holding that ruling was not immediately appealable.

City of Portsmouth, New Hampshire Police Commission/Police Department v. Portsmouth Ranking Officers Association, NEPBA, Local 220
The Portsmouth Police Commission appeals the Superior Court's confirmation of an arbitrator's backpay award to officer Aaron Goodwin following his wrongful termination claim, while the Union argues the arbitrator correctly considered equitable circumstances in the remedy. The City disputes the length of the backpay period, arguing the arbitrator committed a "plain mistake" by failing to properly apply the after-acquired-evidence doctrine and extending compensation past the date the probate court invalidated Goodwin's estate documents. The provided text cuts off while defining the after-acquired-evidence doctrine and does not state the Supreme Court of New Hampshire's final holding on the matter.
