George Joseph Hague and Gail Rose Hague, Plaintiffs-Appellants v. William E. Williams, Defendant-Respondent

Summary

The Supreme Court of New Jersey affirmed the trial court's dismissal of the plaintiffs' sixth and seventh counts, holding that a physician does not have an absolute duty of confidentiality that bars disclosure of a patient’s health condition to an insurer when the plaintiffs have asserted a claim involving that condition.
