The damages are just what is alleged in the statement of claim, and aren't a big deal. Think of that more as an upper limit. People always get upset at the prospect of paying $5M bases on a statement of claim when in reality these things settle for much cheaper (assuming anything is paid out).

Only if what Nenshi said was false. That's where the battle will be fought. You can't defame someone for something that is true (although you might have to prove it).
