As to Edwards' counter-claim, Epstein claimed that he was immune from liability under the litigation privilege, even though Epstein is a non-lawyer. This Court dismissed Edwards' lawsuit, concluding it was bound under case precedent from a single case from the Third District to apply the litigation privilege.
