3010 REVIEW GRANTED Even if it is reversed on appeal, a trial court's denial of a SLAPP motion on the ground that it found a claim to be meritorious establishes a presumption that there was probable cause for the claim, and if unrebutted by proof that the trial court's finding was induced by fraud, the presumption of probable cause defeats a subsequent action for malicious prosecution.CitationWILSON v PARKER (Teachers' Injunction) 87 CA4 1337 [See: Sheldon Appel v Albert 47 C3 863; Bealmear v So Cal Edison 22 C2 337; Carpenter v Sibley 153 C 215; Holliday v Holliday 123 C 26; Roberts v Sentry 76 CA4 375, T/AT 12/99]
