Defendant, an attorney, called plaintiff, ex-wife, to a meeting with defendant’s client, the ex-husband, who was subject to a criminal DVRO forbidding him from contracting plaintiff. At the meeting, defendant joined with the ex-husband in verbally abusing plaintiff and urging her to sign a stipulation giving the ex-husband custody of the children, threatening her with a suit to obtain custody. Plaintiff signed the stipulation, fled, and then reported the incident to the police before filing suit against defendant. Held, plaintiff’s tape recording of the meeting was admissible because the criminal DVRO allowed her to tape record communications with ex-husband. The litigation privilege did not protect defendant’s statements at the meeting as she and ex-husband did not seriously contemplate filing the suit with which they threatened plaintiff.
