1063 Defamation liability can not be imposed on a defendant solely because s/he made financial contributions to the organization that published a defamatory statement; information about payment or non-payment of fines by a candidate for public office is a matter of public concern rather than a private fact, and so its public disclosure can not result in liability for invasion of privacy.CitationMATSON v DVORAK (Financial Contributor) 40 CA4 539 [See: CCP 425.16; Wilcox v Superior Court 27 CA4 809, T/AT 9/94; Osmond v EWAP 153 CA3 842; Sakuma v Zellerbach 25 CA2 309; Diaz v Oakland Tribune 139 CA3 118; Kapellas v Kofman 1 C3 20]
