California Court of Appeal

In a suit for declaratory relief and wrongful removal against a foundation and its directors arising out of a series of disagreements and disputes among the directors about corporate governance and financial oversight that culminated in the plaintiff's removal from the board, the trial court's grant of an anti-SLAPP motion to strike is reversed, where the conduct giving rise to the causes of action did not implicate an act in furtherance of a person's right to free speech or petition under the United States or California Constitution in connection with a public issue.
