Description
[22 N.Y.2d 330 Page 331] In this action for libel, the plaintiff, a member of the New York Bar, alleges in his complaint that the defendants falsely
and maliciously charged him, in a letter addressed to the Grievance Committee of the Association of the Bar of the City of
New York, with dishonesty and fraud. The defendants moved, pursuant to CPLR 3211 (subd. [a]), to dismiss the complaint on
the ground that it fails to state a cause of action in that the letter to the Grievance Committee was absolutely privileged.
The court at Special Term granted the motion, dismissing the complaint. The Appellate Division unanimously affirmed the resulting
order and granted leave to appeal to us.
