In a case alleging malicious prosecution, the trial court's denial of appellant's anti-SLAPP motion and the award of attorney fees to respondent is: 1) reversed where respondents have not shown his action has the minimal merit necessary to avoid being stricken as a SLAPP, nor have they shown a probability of prevailing on the merits against either appellant; 2) affirmed where respondent has shown that his malicious prosecution action against respondent has minimal merit, where unless a trial court otherwise specifies, a grant of nonsuit in the underlying case is a "legal termination favorable to the plaintiff" for the purposes of a subsequent malicious prosecution action; and 3) reversed with respect to the order awarding attorney fees where the order failed to comply with the requirements of Code of Civil Procedure sections 425.16(c) and 128.5(c).
