- Yes, any environmental word compels dismissal
- Yes, all suits against residents are SLAPPs
- No SLAPP defense exists in civil cases
- No; the defendant seeking dismissal must prove the specified legitimate environmental action by substantial evidence
- The company automatically wins without presenting its own showing
