We calculate resistivity in the paramagnetic phase just above the curie temperature in a $2d$ ferromagnetic metal. The required dynamical susceptibility in the formalism of resistivity is calculated within the Random Phase Approximation(RPA). The mechanism of resistivity is magnetic scattering in which $s$-band electrons are scattered off the magnetic spin fluctuations of d-band electrons. We use the $s$-$d$ Hamiltonian formalism. We find that near the quantum critical point the resistivity in $2d$ scales as $T^{\frac{4}{3}}$, whereas in $3d$ it scales as $T^{\frac{5}{3}}$. In contrast to it, resistivity due to phonon scattering is given by $T^5$ in low temperature limit as is well known. Our RPA result agrees with the Self-Consistence Renormalisation(SCR) theory result.
