The following excerpt is from Howard v. Drapkin, 222 Cal.App.3d 843, 271 Cal.Rptr. 893 (Cal. App. 1990):
The husband sued the accountant for abuse of process, intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress. This court held that section 47(2) immunized the accountant from liability. We stated that the defendant's "publications" in both his written report and his testimony at trial were privileged. Carden was cited several times by the Silberg court. (Silberg v. Anderson, supra, 50 Cal.3d at pp. 215, 216, 218, 266 Cal.Rptr. 638, 786 P.2d 365.)
