How courts have described this case

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

• holding that filing the application for a criminal complaint was enough to institute criminal proceedings
• noting that claims against police officers in their official capacities are claims against the police department itself and thus barred by the MTCA
• granting a police department’s motion to dismiss a malicious prosecution claim because the claim is barred by § 10(c)
• “[F]iling a criminal complaint constitutes the institution of criminal proceedings and, while such conduct is not always necessary for a claim of malicious prosecution, it is certainly sufficient.”
• agreeing “that statements made” by third parties “in the police report are inadmissible hearsay”
• “One in the possession of a chattel does not become a converter by making a qualified refusal immediately to surrender the chattel when the circumstances are such that the demand for immediate surrender is unreasonable.”
