Not exactly dismissed...
Indeed, a discontinuance by an applicant or plaintiff is not a dismissal by the court based on the merits., but one can be morally certain that in the rather unlikely event that either of the Fords knows the difference they would be dishonest about it. Jacobs , the probable actual author of the "statement by Rob Ford", might be somewhat more likely to know the difference but he also understands that they key to communicating with FN is, as here, to rely on their generally low level of education and sophistication to lead them to a false impression.
