Description
We granted review in this case to resolve an apparent conflict in decisions of the Courts of Appeal regarding the nature and scope of the "litigation privilege" found in Civil Code section 47, subdivision 2.*fn1 We conclude that the decision of the Court of Appeal in the instant case, and the line of cases on which it relied in adopting the so-called "interest of justice" test, are inconsistent with the absolute nature of the litigation privilege and its underlying policy purposes. We therefore disapprove the line of cases employing the "interest of justice" test and reverse the judgment of the Court of Appeal with directions to reinstate the judgment of dismissal issued by the trial court.
