New Jersey Law Journal Features Espey Article on Privileges in NJ Medical Malpractice Litigation
October 16, 2025 - New Jersey Law Journal
Peter Espey (Of Counsel-Madison, NJ) authored “Navigating Privileges in New Jersey Malpractice Litigation,” which appeared in the October 16, 2025, posting of New Jersey Law Journal. The article analyzes key areas of privilege in medical malpractice cases, including limitations on testimony from treating physicians, access to medical information concerning non-parties, protections for self-critical analysis, and disputes surrounding the boundaries of expert witness privilege. Peter observes, “A theme throughout these cases is the competition between litigation as a ‘search for truth’ and the circumstances in which public policy or other considerations justify limiting discovery.”
