MacKinnon v.Teasdale
Plaintiff appeals from the order granting defendant’s special motion to strike under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16. Section 425.16 which sets out a procedure for striking complaints in lawsuits that are commonly known as “SLAPP” suits. Plaintiff contends that the trial court erred in finding that three letters sent by defendant to plaintiff’s real estate agent qualify as exercises of the right to petition and the right to freedom of speech under section 425.16. Appellant also contends that the trial court erred in finding that her underlying cause of action against defendant for interference with contractual relations lacks merit. Court disagreed with plaintiff in both respects and affirmed the order.
