1779 For the purpose of determining whether the litigation privilege applies to statements made in the course of litigation, the logical connection between the statements and the litigation is a question of law, which may be determined in the affirmative, even though the maker of the statements did not regard them as logically connected to the litigation; the litigation privilege may be applied to statements made about persons who are not parties to the litigation in question.CitationOBOS v SCRIPPS PSYCHOLOGICAL (Dishonorable Discharge) 59 CA4 103 [See: CivC 47; Silberg v Anderson 50 C3 205]
