P1101 The SLAPP statute applies to a cause of action seeking to limit the duration of city council meetings; council members who sue purportedly on behalf of the general public, claiming that the lateness of city council meetings imposes a burden on them as members, have a personal stake in the outcome sufficient to prevent application of an exception to the SLAPP statute for actions brought solely in the public interest; members of a legislative body of a local agency forfeit their status as taxpayer-citizens, thereby relinquishing standing to assert a claim under the Brown Act that taxpayer-citizens would have.CitationHOLBROOK v CITY OF SANTA MONICA (Brown Act Standing) 144 CA4 1242 [See: GovC 54950 etseq; CCP 425.16, 425.17; Carsten v Psych Exam Com 27 C3 793; McKee v Orange USD 110 CA4 1310, P/AT 9/03]
