Superior Court of New Jersey, Law Division, Somerset County.

April 15, 1987.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Robert G. Goodman, for plaintiffs (Palmisano & Goodman, attorneys).

Richard J. Schachter, for defendant (Schachter, Cohn, Trombadore & Offen, attorneys).


OPINION

ARNOLD, P.J.Cv.

In this defamation action plaintiffs allege that the defendant, who is a physician, maliciously reported that their child had been subjected to child abuse. The defendant has moved for summary judgment raising the issue of the scope of the immunity afforded by N.J.S.A. 9:6-8.13. Because this court concludes that the statute affords the defendant an absolute privilege, the motion for summary judgment is granted.
