Texas Supreme Court

Michael Quinn Sullivan, Petitioner v. Salem Abraham, Respondent

April 15, 201659 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 652

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the Texas Citizens Participation Act requires an award of reasonable attorney’s fees without the discretionary "justice and equity" modifier, and that the trial court erred by applying that modifier. The Court reversed the appellate decision and remanded for a proper fee determination and reconsideration of sanctions.
