Tedards v. Auty

In Tedards v. Auty, 232 N.J. Super. 541, 551, 557 A.2d 1030 (App.Div.1989), the Court reversed a summary judgment in defendant's favor where plaintiff charged abuse of process by defendant, an attorney, who obtained a writ ne exeat in a matrimonial enforcement action resulting in plaintiff's incarceration. The "further acts" of defendant after the writ was issued were his knowing and material misrepresentations to a judge of the record of the family action to justify the setting of a substantial bail before plaintiff's release after the ne exeat was served.
