I'm glad that the Court of Appeal published this opinion. If only to make clear that it's no defense to a malicious prosecution action for an attorney to say: "Even if I knew or should have known that the cause of action I was asserting lacked merit, it was okay for me to refuse to drop it, because that's what zealous representation of a client requires."
You can say that. But you can also lose over a quarter million dollars as a result.
