Dean v. Friends of Pine Meadow, No. A149735 (D1d4 Mar. 8, 2018)

A golf course developer sued an advocacy group that is agitating against one of its projects for defamation and various business interference torts. That might sound familiar. Perhaps because the California Supreme Court used that precise scenario as an example of “the paradigm SLAPP” almost twenty years ago. Briggs v. Eden Council for Hope & Opportunity, 19 Cal. 4th 1106, 1125 (1999).
