Rule 24 Defamatory Material
Rule Text
The filing of papers with or the giving of testimony before the Commission shall be privileged in any action for defamation. A writing that was privileged prior to its filing with the Commission does not lose its privilege by the filing. A recommendation filed by the Commission in the Wyoming Supreme Court retains its privilege and is an affirmative defense in an action for defamation.
