The Law Offices of Paul N. Philips v. Rudich CA2/3
The Law Offices of Paul N. Philips, A Professional Law Corporation (Philips APLC) sued David P. Rudich and the Law Office of David Rudich (collectively Rudich) for declaratory relief and defamation per se. Rudich moved to specially strike the defamation per se cause of action under Code of Civil Procedure section 425.16 (anti-SLAPP statute). The trial court denied the motion, finding Rudich failed to establish the defamation per se allegations were based on protected activity. Rudich contends the trial court erred because his statements were subject to the litigation privilege. We disagree and affirm.
