What is a plaintiff's right to petition the government for redress of grievances?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Byers v. Cathcart, 57 Cal.App.4th 805, 67 Cal.Rptr.2d 398 (Cal. App. 1997):
All persons have a constitutional right to petition the government for redress of grievances. Such conduct cannot be enjoined. (See, e.g., 527.6, subd. (b); Smith v. Silvey (1983) 149 Cal.App.3d 400, 197 Cal.Rptr. 15.) Thus the only claims raised by defendants that related to activity that is not plainly constitutionally protected was the parking on the driveway easement.
