What is the test for a plaintiff to succeed in obtaining a judgment against defendant in an anti-SLAPP action?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Kvassay v. Kvassay, B284976 (Cal. App. 2018):

Because defendant's actions to enforce a judgment were protected activities under the anti-SLAPP statute, we must now determine whether plaintiff met his burden of demonstrating a probability of prevailing on his causes of action. To do so, plaintiff was required to present evidence showing he could establish a prima facie case at trial. (Evans v. Unkow (1995) 38 Cal.App.4th 1490, 1496.) He failed to do so.
