Matter of Baker v. MacFadden Publications, Inc.

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, First Department
May 23, 1950
277 App. Div. 768 (N.Y. App. Div. 1950)

Opinion

May 23, 1950.

Present — Peck, P.J., Glennon, Cohn, Van Voorhis and Shientag, JJ.;


Defendant's impression that judicial privilege would attach to any circularization of the stockholders by petitioners, so that false information might thereby be imparted with immunity, is mistaken. There would be no judicial privilege in such circularization and petitioners must assume the same responsibility for their communications to stockholders as if there were no suit pending. Order unanimously affirmed, with $10 costs and disbursements to petitioners.


Shientag, J., concurs in result.
