Jackson Walker Wins Twin Anti-SLAPP Victories for Dallas Better Business Bureau
On May 15, 2013, Jackson Walker L.L.P. won victories for its client, Better Business Bureau of Metropolitan Dallas, Inc., in two separate cases before the Court of Appeals for the Fifth District of Texas in Dallas. In each case, the court dismissed claims against the BBB pursuant to the Texas Citizens Participation Act (TCPA), the state's anti-SLAPP statute, which was adopted in 2011 to discourage retaliatory lawsuits brought against parties exercising their right to free speech. "We are very pleased with the outcome of these two suits and the manner in which Jackson Walker handled them,"
