C.W. Howe Partners Inc. v. Mooradian
Annotate this Case
The Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court's denial of defendants' anit-SLAPP motion in an action brought by plaintiffs for express indemnity, equitable indemnity, contribution and declaratory relief. The trial court held that none of plaintiffs' claims arose from protected speech or petitioning activity within the meaning of the anti-SLAPP statute, Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16.
The court affirmed and held that plaintiffs' cross-complaint did not arise from defendants' protected petitioning activity. In this case, plaintiffs' cross-complaint arose from the alleged breach of their agreement to indemnify plaintiffs for any liability attributable to information provided by defendants or defendants' representatives and defendants' underlying fault with regard to their decisionmaking.
