Min v. Tanaka
In the underlying action, respondents Chris and Hea Sung Min (the Mins) and the Min Family Trust (Trust) asserted claims against appellant Janice Tanaka arising out of her construction of a driveway to her residence. The trial court granted in part and denied in part Tanakas motion under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16 -- the law designed to curtail the filing of strategic lawsuits against public participation, often called the anti SLAPP law -- and denied her request for an award of attorney fees. Court conclude the trial court correctly ruled that three of respondents claims fall outside the scope of the anti-SLAPP law, but improperly denied the fee award.
