“On its face, the Tennessee Tip Statute is clearly intended to protect such employees by forbidding employers from keeping them tips. While the statute contains no express indication of legislative intent to create or deny a private right of action, a private action is consistent with the purpose of the legislation, and indeed complements the remedy in the statute by providing a mechanism to make employees whole. Consequently, we affirm the tidal court’s determination that the plaintiffs could pursue a private cause of action under the Tennessee Tip Statute.”
2 later decisions quote this exact passage“The general rule is that testimony given in a judicial proceeding, if pertinent thereto, is protected by an absolute privilege even though given maliciously and with knowledge of its falsity. And accordingly, it is also the general rule that no civil action for damages lies for false testimony or for subornation of false testimony or for conspiracy to give or procure false testimony.”
