Garcia v. Williamson CA2/7
Thomas D. Williamson and Sue Shreeve appeal from an order granting the special motion to strike (Code Civ. Proc., § 425.16; anti-SLAPP statute) filed by cross-defendants Katherine Black Garcia and Christopher, Henry, and Laura Black (collectively, the Black parties). After Thomas and Sue arranged for the sale of real property owned by corporate entities held by four family trusts without notice to the Black parties, three of the Black parties (Katherine, Christopher, and Henry; collectively, the Black plaintiffs), in their capacity as co-trustees of one of the four trusts, sued Thomas and Sue for breach of fiduciary duty. Thomas and Sue cross-complained against the Black parties, alleging causes of action for intentional interference with prospective economic advantage and declaratory relief. The Black parties filed a special motion to strike the cross-complaint, which the trial court granted.
