4 Cards On This Topic:

An appeal from the denial of a special motion to strike under CCP 425.16 effects an automatic stay of all trial court proceedings.

Direct appeal provision in CCP 425.16(i) does not apply to CCP 425.16(d) exemption order—subdivision (d) order is not a ruling on the merits, but a determination that the entire anti-SLAPP procedure does not apply.

Trial court had jurisdiction to grant injunctive relief during pendency of appeal on motion to strike as injunction was not a decision on the merits and did not affect merits of the claim.

Malicious prosecution qualified for CCP 425.16 treatment where P showed probability of prevailing; perfection of appeal from denial of special motion to strike automatically stayed proceedings.
