Paul Gresk v. and a V…

Summary

The Indiana Supreme Court reversed the trial court’s dismissal and held that Indiana’s anti‑SLAPP statute does not protect Dr. Demetris’s report to the Department of Child Services because it was not made in furtherance of her petition or free‑speech rights and was not connected to a public issue. Accordingly, the anti‑SLAPP defense is unavailable and the case is remanded for further proceedings on the underlying malpractice claims.
