4529 REVIEW DENIED An action for fraud brought by attorneys against a client, based on the claim that the client’s fraud had induced conduct by the attorneys that caused the client to sue them, arose from the client’s suit, which was an exercise of the right of petition, and was subject to the SLAPP statute; the attorneys were unable to make out a case because their belief that an asset belonged to the client individually after the client had maintained for two years that it was a corporate asset was not justified and because what they referred to as their possible exposure to liability was not damage.CitationPHILIPSON v GULSVIG (Change of Client) 154 CA4 347 [See: Agricultural v Superior Court 70 CA4 385, T/AT 4/99]
