Nevada Supreme Court Rules that Declaratory Relief Claims Subject to Anti-SLAPP Statute

The decision reaffirms and further clarifies its prior holding that the anti-SLAPP law is not limited “to only certain claims for relief.” And it reverses a trial court that expressed concern that granting the anti-SLAPP motion—thereby triggering the law’s mandatory fee-shifting provision—would “punish” a police union that has sued the Review-Journal for publishing lawfully obtained video footage of officers working at a local jail.
