Privileged Communication

There are two types of privileged communication: absolute privilege and qualified/conditionally privileged communication. Absolute privilege means a person has the absolute right to make a defamatory statement and is immune from lawsuits, while qualified/conditional privilege applies to good faith statements between parties sharing a common interest or duty, such as an employer providing an honest job review to a future employer.
