View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court rightly found defendants were prevailing parties under anti-SLAPP statute, Code Civ.

View this case - free

Code, § 25506, and 15 U.S.C. § 77m to find that the action was time-barred; there was evidence that data to which the original pleading might have referred was inconclusive, and its disclosure on a website did not put the investors on inquiry notice.

View this case - free  

Overview: Trial court erred in finding that method used by city to determine amount of building permit and inspection fees violated California Mitigation Fee Act because decrease in fees adopted by city was supported by substantial evidence; a long-term forecast, using an average, was neither inherently unreliable nor so arbitrary as to be mere speculation.
