Youngkin v. Hines

How courts have described this case

• holding that attorney’s reciting of Rule 11 agreement in open court on behalf of client constituted attorney’s “exercise of the right to petition” as defined in TCPA

• concluding that the plaintiff’s right to petition had been violated because the communications were recited in open court and agreeing that entering the communication in the judicial record constituted a communication or statement made in a judicial proceeding
• noting that focus of inquiry is “on the kind of conduct at issue rather than the alleged wrongfulness of said conduct”
• reiterating that “legislative intent derives from an act as a whole rather than from isolated portions of it”
