Faerber v. Schroth
Appellant Rainer J. Faerber appeals from the order granting attorney Robert Schroth and Winters, Schroth & Kings (hereafter referred to as respondents) special motion to strike under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16 (hereafter section 425.16). Section 425.16 sets out a procedure for striking complaints in lawsuits that are commonly known as SLAPP suits (strategic lawsuits against public participation). Appellant contends that the trial court erred in finding that the right to petition and the right to freedom of speech under section 425.16 applies to knowingly making a false accusation of sexual abuse of a minor in a family law proceeding. He also contends that the trial court erred in finding that his underlying cause of action against respondents for intentional infliction of emotional distress lacks merit. Court disagree with appellant and affirm the order.
