S.A.M. Moving, Inc. v. Alexander’s Mobility
S.A.M. Moving, Inc., (S.A.M.) sued a competitor, Alexander’s Mobility Services (Alexander’s), for slander, trade libel, and breach of contract after Alexander’s allegedly bad-mouthed S.A.M. to potential customers. One such potential customer was the City of Los Angeles. Alexander’s moved to strike the causes of action for slander and trade libel under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16, the anti-SLAPP statute, on the grounds that the statements made to the City of Los Angeles furthered Alexander’s constitutional right of free speech in connection with a public issue or an issue of public interest.
