The CASE Anti-SLAPP Guidebook is a crucial resource for public watchdogs who may lack access to legal support. It aims to equip these watchdogs with essential knowledge to improve their ability to implement preventive and responsive measures to mitigate legal threats they may face. In doing so, the CASE guidebook outlines strategies to reduce your risk of being sued and how to strengthen your defense. It also provides guidance on where to seek help if you face a legal threat or lawsuit. The guidebook focuses on key areas relevant to its readers, including defamation, protest, copyright and trademark issues, whistleblowing, commercial and official secrets, and data protection law. It addresses both basic and complex questions regarding legal provisions that enable SLAPPs and offers recommendations on what to do if you become a target of one.
