P0993 In an action for injunctive relief and to determine the validity of an election for board of directors of the Sierra Club, the principal gravamen sufficiently implicated the public interest to qualify for exemption from application of the SLAPP statute for an action brought solely in the public interest by a plaintiff who does not seek any relief other than that sought for the general public and which, if successful, would enforce an important right affecting the public interest, even though it was brought by candidates defeated in the election who might derive benefit from it in a subsequent election.CitationCLUB MEMBERS v SIERRA (Public Interest) 137 CA4 1166 [See: CCP 425.16, 425.17, 1021.5; Hammond v Agran 99 CA4 115, P/AT 7/02; Martinez v Metabolife 113 CA4 181, P/AT 1/04; Macias v Hartwell 55 CA4 669, T/AT 7/97; Damon v Ocean Hills 85 CA4 468, T/AT 1/01]
