Michigan Law Review

Plaintiff sued defendants, including plaintiff's husband, for jointly causing a false charge of adultery to be made against plaintiff in a divorce suit. The defendants' demurrer to the complaint was sustained in the trial court as to each and all of the defendants. Held, that although plaintiff's husband was immune from liability, a cause of action had been made out against all the rest of the defendants, and the judgment in their favor was reversed. Ewald v. Lane, (App. D. C. 1939) 104 F. (2d) 222.
