Answer to Question 1

Courts have been concerned that in the absence of physical injury, plaintiffs can readily fake emotional distress and win undeserved verdicts, and, hence, have been reluctant to adopt this tort.

Answer to Question 2

The law generally recognizes a qualified privilege where one person communicates with another who has a legitimate need to know the information.
