535	67	IV.J. Attorney immunity, grievance immunity, judicial proceedings privilege (MNT #11-12, JNOV #6-8)	Attorney immunity: Q6 language ('while in attorney client relationship') came from Texas Supreme Court (Youngkin v. Hines — 'existence of attorney-client relationship at the time'). No attorney-client relationship existed when Kassab used trade secrets for mass solicitation — cannot pre-date contact with prospective client. Jury rejected Kassab's argument on this point. Grievance immunity (Rule 17.09): lawsuit not 'predicated upon' grievance filing — claim accrued upon Kassab's acquisition/use of information, which occurred before any grievance filed. Judicial proceedings privilege: applies only to communications in due course of judicial proceeding and protects against libel/slander claims (Landry's). Pohl's claim is misappropriation, not reputational harm; misappropriation occurred before any proceeding existed.
