0968 REVIEW DENIED A person against whom a lawsuit was brought for inducing others to litigate has standing to make a special motion under the anti-SLAPP statute to strike the complaint; for communications made in the course of litigation, the litigation privilege provides absolute immunity from liability on any theory but malicious prosecution; settlement of litigation is not a favorable termination on the merits.CitationLUDWIG v SUPERIOR COURT (Mall Wars) 37 CA4 8 [See: CCP 425.16; Wilcox v SuperCt 27 CA4 809, T/AT 9/94; CivC 47; Rubin v Green 4 C4 1187, T/AT 5/93; Silberg v Anderson 50 C3 205; Heller v Norcal 8 C4 30, T/AT 8/94]
