New York Court Limits Defamation Claims in Pre-Lawsuit Remarks
New York Court of Appeals says qualified privilege protects attorney statements before suit if they relate to good faith anticipated litigation. The ruling narrows absolute privilege used in coming lawsuits and upholds a line between legitimate prelitigation notices and attempts to bully or intimidate opponents.
