Nicosia Contracting International v. Rees CA4/3
Appellant Nicosia Contracting International LLC sued a former employee, Harrison Rees, for defamation and interference with contractual relationship. The basis of the lawsuit was Rees’ report to the Anaheim Fire Department that Nicosia had installed substandard parts in a building it had constructed in Anaheim.
Rees responded with an anti-SLAPP motion under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16. The trial court granted the motion and denied Nicosia’s subsequent motion for new trial. Nicosia has appealed from the order granting the anti-SLAPP motion.
