Anonymous v. Health Insurance Plan

New York Supreme Court

Decided February 19, 1958Published

1Opinion of the CourtJames S. Brown, J.

In this action for libel and slander defendants move for summary judgment pursuant to rules 113 and 114 of the Buies of Civil Practice, on the ground that the answer of the defendants sets forth the defense of qualified privilege, which defense, they contend, is sufficient as a matter of law, since it is founded upon facts established prima facie by documentary evidence or official records. They allege that it is a complete defense to all the various causes of action because of the relationship of the parties and the circumstances under which the communications complained of were made.
