California Court of Appeal

In a defamation action arising out of defendants' statements regarding andesine jewelry products marketed and sold by plaintiff, claiming trade libel, interference with contract, and intentional and negligent interference with prospective economic advantage, the trial court's court order denying a special motion to strike the complaint is reversed, where collateral estoppel bars the complaint, as plaintiff had a full and fair opportunity to litigate the relevant issues when it opposed defendants' motions.
