Does the anti-SLAPP statute insulate defendants from any liability for claims arising from the protected rights of petition or speech?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Saunders v. Jannusi, B292287 (Cal. App. 2020):
"The anti-SLAPP statute does not insulate defendants from any liability for claims arising from the protected rights of petition or speech. It only provides a procedure for weeding out, at an early stage, meritless claims arising from protected activity." (Baral v. Schnitt (2016) 1 Cal.5th 376, 384, first italics omitted.)
