Appeal Sanctions: $8,500 To Appellate Clerk Was Appeal Sanctions

Lower Court Will Determine Amount To Prevailing SLAPP Litigant On Appeal.

               Just to show you how appeal sanctions are increasing, the appellate court in NBoordhof v. Armstrong, Case No. B331078 (2d Dist., Div. 4 Nov. 14, 2024) (unpublished) determined that a frivolous appeal should result in the punished litigant paying $8,500 to the appellate clerk for the frivolous appeal.  With respect to appellate fees to the SLAPP prevailing litigant, that was something the lower court would determine on remand.
