Is a plaintiff entitled to fees and costs arising from a successful anti-SLAPP motion?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from McCoy v. Raheel, B240553 (Cal. App. 2013):

Plaintiffs' challenge to the orders awarding defendants their attorney fees after prevailing on their respective anti-SLAPP motions is based solely on the argument that the anti-SLAPP motions were improperly granted. Defendants are entitled to reasonable attorney fees and costs incurred in connection with their respective anti-SLAPP motions. ( 425.16, subd. (c).) Plaintiffs have failed to establish any abuse of discretion by the trial court in awarding such fees and costs. (Ketchum v. Moses (2001) 24 Cal.4th 1122, 1130.)
