Miller v. National Broadcasting Co.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that where there is a consensual entry, there is no tort because lack of consent is an element of the theory underlying tort
• holding that defendant’s unauthorized broadcast of sensitive, private matters was sufficient showing of reckless disregard
• finding facts sufficient to state an 26 intrusion upon seclusion claim where a television crew filmed a man dying in his private 27 home without gaining permission from him or his wife
• network’s repeated broadcasting of paramedics’ unsuccessful attempts to resuscitate plaintiff's husband was sufficient to state a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress
• claims by daughter for intentional infliction of emotional distress excluded because thrust of her claims arose out of her relationship to her parents, the victims of the tortfeasor
• “nature of the harm from the breach of the right to privacy [] constitutes 24 a personal injury”
