Court decisions citing this, by year. The dip in the last several years is a data-coverage gap, not a real trend — our corpus holds fewer opinions from the most recent years, so recent citations are undercounted.

(a) An action for libel or slander.
(b) An action for assault, battery, malicious prosecution, or false imprisonment.
