New anti-SLAPP bill would crackdown on ‘legal gangsterism’

Conservative MP Bob Seely has introduced a 10-minute rule bill which would crackdown on Strategic Lawsuits Against Public Participation or “SLAPPS”.

Mr Seely said: “I think this as a business model is a form of legalised intimidation, effectively, legal gangsterism. The SLAPPs business model is the means by which bad actors, organised crime, authoritarian states, their oligarch proxies or corrupt corporations intimidate good actors”.
