Case Summary |
|
0586 Although CivC 47 applies an absolute privilege to statements made in the course of judicial proceedings and to a newspaper's republication of those statements, the privilege does not apply to a litigant's communication to a newspaper of the contents of that litigant's complaint, and such communication may be the basis of defamation liability.CitationSHAHVAR v SUPERIOR COURT (Media Alert) 25 CA4 653 [See: CivC 47; Silberg v Anderson 50 C3 205; Abraham v Lancaster 217 CA3 796] |
