What is the test for an anti-SLAPP motion?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from Morris v. Regents of the Univ. of Cal., B264154 (Cal. App. 2016):

evaluation of the trial court's order, we consider the pleadings and the supporting and opposing affidavits filed by the parties on the anti-SLAPP motion. In doing so, we do not weigh credibility or determine the weight of the evidence. Rather, we accept as true the evidence favorable to the plaintiff and evaluate the defendant's evidence only to determine if it has defeated that submitted by the plaintiff as a matter of law. [Citation.]" (Bailey v. Brewer (2011) 197 Cal.App.4th 781, 788.)
