Nygard International Partnership v. Feralio
This case involves two appeals and a cross-appeal from the trial court’s order on two special motions to strike under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16, the so-called anti-SLAPP statute. The court granted in its entirety the motion brought by defendants Louis Bacon and Jack Palladino (collectively, Bacon/Palladino) with regard to claims alleged against them by plaintiffs Nygård International Partnership and Nygård Inc.
