California Court of Appeal

In plaintiff-homeowners' suit against defendant-homeowners association (HA) arising from its application of architectural guidelines, trial court's grant of HA's motion to strike is reversed as, whether or not the subject matter of the underlying dispute was a matter of public interest, the trial court erred in granting the HA's motion because the HA's actions that formed the basis of plaintiffs' causes of action were not taken in furtherance of the HA's right of free speech.
