A suit brought by court reporters against lawyers who protested court reporting fees on behalf of their clients is not barred under the state anti-SLAPP statute, the California Court of Appeal has ruled.
The court reporters sued two attorneys for breach of contract for failing to pay more than $30,000 in fees. The attorneys, who had previously protested the court reporters' fees as excessive on behalf of their clients, moved to strike the complaint under the state anti-SLAPP statute. They claimed that the court reporters had no contractual relationship with them and sued them in retaliation for their protests.
