What is the burden of proving a cause of action against defendants?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from McCoy v. Raheel, B240553 (Cal. App. 2013):
Because defendants' actions to obtain and enforce a judgment were protected activities under the anti-SLAPP statute, we must now determine whether plaintiffs met their burden of demonstrating a probability of prevailing on their causes of action. To do so, plaintiffs were required to present evidence showing they could establish a prima facie case at trial. (Evans v. Unkow (1995) 38 Cal.App.4th 1490, 1496.) They failed to do so.
