Harlow v. Fitzgerald green
scotus · 1982
2 sentences

1986The applicability of qualified immunity will turn "primarily on objective factors—that is, the objective reasonableness of an official's conduct, as measured by reference to clearly established law." Harlow, 457 U.S. at 818 , 102 S.Ct. at 2738 . [16] Qualified immunity thus effectuates a balance between the competing values of discouraging abuse of citizens' rights through a damages remedy and of preserving the vigorous and independent exercise of official authority.
