In response, two TM organizations then headed by Deepak Chopra sued Skolnick, "JAMA"'s editor George Lundberg, and the AMA in 1992, seeking an injunction and $194 million in damages. The suit alleged Skolnick's news report on TM's health care products and services was libelous and that it tortuously interfered with their business interests. In August 1992, in a noted decision, the trial court rejected the plaintiff’s motion to enjoin "JAMA" and Skolnick under the Illinois Deceptive Practices Act from publishing statements about them and Maharishi Ayurveda, observing that the plaintiffs did not allege that the statements about them had been false or misleading, and holding that "plaintiffs have little likelihood of prevailing on the merits of their disparagement claim", and that "JAMA"’s and Skolnick’s alleged defamatory statements were protected as "fair comment and criticism" on an issue of public concern. Shortly thereafter, the case was dismissed without prejudice in March 1993. In 1997, "Newsweek" reported that according to Chopra's lawyer the suit was "settled for an undisclosed amount." "Newsweek" later published a correction and clarified that there was no monetary settlement. Philip Goldberg's 2010 book "American Veda" says that the lawsuit was settled in 1993.
