California Court of Appeal

The trial court's dismissal of a suit for malicious prosecution of an unlawful detainer action is affirmed where the rule in Wilson v. Parker, Covert & Chidester (2002) 28 Cal.4th 811, 823-824 applies--and is a subsequent malicious prosecution claim barred--when the trial court in the prior lawsuit denied the defendant's motion for judgment under Code of Civil Procedure section 631.8 1 but went on to rule in the defendant's favor.
