The Litigation Privilege: Immunity for False Pleadings and Discovery Responses

Litigation partner James H. Rotondo and Insurance associate Jason E. Rusche authored the article, "The Litigation Privilege: Immunity for False Pleadings and Discovery Responses?" for the Connecticut Law Tribune. The article discusses the Supreme Court of Connecticut's decision in Dorfman v. Smith, which extends the reach of absolute immunity under the litigation privilege doctrine to claims of breach of implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, negligent infliction of emotional distress and unfair insurance claim settlement practices.
