466 So. 2d 121 (Ala. 1985)

Facts

Logan (P) owned and operated a beauty salon. On May 11, 1982, an employee of D phoned P at his place of business and inquired whether P had made his monthly charge account payment. While looking in his checkbook, P heard the employee tell someone that P was a queer as a three-dollar bill. No one other than P heard the statement on his end of the line. P sued D. D moved for a summary judgment. It was granted, and P appealed.
