Tighe v. Ginsberg

How courts have described this case

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

• reiterating prior rejection of implied contract as the appropriate cause of action
• finding “no merit” to the argument that a claim for breach of doctor-patient confidentiality “should be dismissed because it seeks recovery only for psychological and emotional damage but not for physical harm, lost earnings or special damages.”
• where physician's disclosure of confidential information to plaintiff's employer, for whom physician had testified as an expert witness, gave rise to tort claim separate and distinct from medical malpractice
• “[In MacDonald, the court] recognized that the physician-patient relationship creates an implied covenant which when breached is actionable. We declined to characterize the cause of action as a breach of contract. . . .”
