Paul v. Watchtower Bible & Tract Society of New York, Inc. (1987) Overview | LSData Case Brief Video

The case involves a plaintiff who was shunned by the Jehovah's Witness Church after being disassociated from it. The plaintiff sued the Watchtower Bible and Tract Associations for alleged common law torts. The court considered whether the practice of shunning violated the plaintiff's religious freedom and whether it caused injuries. The court also analyzed whether the practice of shunning is protected by the First Amendment and the Washington State Constitution. The most relevant facts are that the plaintiff suffered real harms due to the shunning, and the defendants argued that they have a defense of privilege to practice shunning according to their religious beliefs.
