Probable cause is to be decided by the court as a matter of law. However, it may require the jury to find some preliminary facts before the court can make its legal determination, including facts regarding what the defendant knew or didn\u2019t know at the time. (See\u00a0<span class=\"SS_it\" data-housestyle=\"EMPHASIS_it\">Sheldon Appel Co. v. Albert &amp; Oliker<\/span>\u00a0(1989) 47 Cal.3d 863, 881 [254 Cal.Rptr. 336, 765 P.2d 498].) If so, include element 4 and also the bracketed part of the instruction that refers to element 4.<\/p>\n<p>Favorable termination is handled in much the same way. If a proceeding is terminated other than on the merits, there may be disputed facts that the jury must find in order to determine whether there has been a favorable termination. (See\u00a0<span class=\"SS_it\" data-housestyle=\"EMPHASIS_it\">Fuentes v. Berry<\/span>\u00a0(1995) 38 Cal.App.4th 1800, 1808 [45 Cal.Rptr.2d 848].) If so, include element 3 and also the bracketed part of the instruction that refers to element 3. Once these facts are determined, the jury does not then make a second determination as to whether there has been a favorable termination. The matter is determined by the court based on the resolution of the disputed facts. See\u00a0<span class=\"SS_it\" data-housestyle=\"EMPHASIS_it\">Sierra Club Found. v.
