Supreme Court of Pennsylvania October 20, 2004, 47 EAP 2003 (Bochetto v. Gibson)

OPINION OF THE COURT

Justice NIGRO.

At issue in this appeal is whether an attorney is absolutely immune from liability on the basis of the judicial privilege when he faxes to a reporter a complaint that he has previously filed. For the reasons that follow, we hold that the judicial privilege does not protect an attorney from liability for such conduct.
