(2) The motion to strike paragraph 29 of the SAC and paragraph c of the prayer to the second cause of action is granted without leave to amend because the plaintiff did not allege sufficient facts to support that the defendant acted with malice or oppression to warrant punitive damages.

1) The case involved an action for unlawful detainer filed by Consolidated Investments Building Inc. against Domingo Dikit for failure to pay rent.
2) The court found that the action was for unlawful detainer, not forcible entry, as Dikit's initial possession of the premises was lawful under a lease agreement. However, his possession became unlawful after he failed to pay rent.
3) Therefore, the municipal court judge acted in excess of jurisdiction in issuing a writ of preliminary injunction, since unlawful detainer cases fall under the jurisdiction of municipal courts, not regional trial courts.

This document summarizes a court case from the Sri Lanka Law Reports from 2009 regarding a partition action.
(1) The plaintiff filed a partition suit to divide a land allegedly owned in common, but some defendants disputed the plaintiff's claimed chain of title. The plaintiff produced several deeds to establish title but the trial judge rejected them because the plaintiff did not prove their execution.
(2) On appeal, the court found that the rejection of the deeds contravened Section 68 of the Partition Law, which does not require formal proof of deed execution unless genuineness is disputed. The execution of the deeds was also not properly investigated.
(3) The court set aside the trial judgment and ordered a new trial

The court partially grants and denies TMA's motion for summary judgment, finding issues of fact remain regarding Bryant's authority to terminate TMA's leases unilaterally upon WMG's default.

US District Court, District of Oregon, order holding that insurer did not "rely" on insured's alleged misrepresentation by incurring expenses to investigate insured's loss
This document is a stipulation and order modifying a previous judgment in a divorce case between Gary W. XXXXXX and Barbara K. XXXXXX. It stipulates that (1) Barbara will receive $84,659 from Gary's 401(k) plan, ownership of their Florida condo, funds from rental and personal bank accounts, and levies against Gary's accounts; (2) these transfers settle all child and spousal support claims; (3) the 401(k) transfer is non-taxable; (4) Gary's additional child and spousal support obligations are deemed satisfied; and (5) enforcement actions against Gary will be terminated upon execution of this order.
1) The plaintiff sought a declaration that a deed transferring land to the defendants be declared void, alleging it was obtained through fraud. The trial court ruled in the plaintiff's favor.
2) On appeal, the defendants argued the causes of action were misjoined. However, the court found the plaintiff only raised issues regarding invalidating the deed, not declaring title.
3) The court also held that even if both causes of action were raised, this would be allowed. Declaring a deed invalid is consequential to declaring title. The standard of proof in allegations of fraud is a balance of probabilities.

Requirement of a statutory notice in Uganda's lawsMarilyn Yvone
The court considered an application by Uganda Registration Services Bureau seeking unconditional leave to appear and defend a civil suit brought by Stellar Properties Limited. The Bureau argued that the suit was barred because Stellar did not provide the mandatory statutory notice required to sue the Bureau, as a statutory corporation. However, the court found that while the notices Stellar sent did not use the exact prescribed form, they met the material requirements of identifying the claimant, facts, and value of claim. The court thus dismissed the Bureau's application, finding that the notice requirements were directory rather than mandatory, and the Bureau was not prejudiced.
This document is a memorandum submitted by the defendant's counsel in a civil case regarding ejectment. The plaintiff filed a complaint to eject the defendant from an apartment the defendant had been leasing. The defendant argues that the plaintiff has no cause of action because the lease contract presented by the plaintiff is fictitious. Additionally, the defendant asserts that the plaintiff's action is barred by the one-year statute of limitations for unlawful detainer cases. Finally, the defendant claims the complaint should be dismissed for lack of a proper certification against forum shopping. The defendant requests that the court dismiss the plaintiff's complaint.

This order addresses National Union Fire Insurance Company's motion for summary judgment regarding its duties to defend and indemnify Redbox Automated Retail in various lawsuits. The court grants in part and denies in part the motion. Specifically, the court finds that National Union has a duty to defend Redbox in the Cain lawsuit, which alleges violations of Michigan's video rental privacy law, but not in the Mehrens lawsuit, which alleges violations of California's credit card receipt law. The court also finds that while National Union may issue reservations of rights and set reasonable rate caps when defending insureds, it must do so reasonably and in good faith.
The document discusses two motions in the case of Stephen M. Gaggero v. Knapp, Petersen and Clarke, et al.
1) The court partially granted the plaintiff's motion to quash the third deposition notice but ordered that the plaintiff submit to a final deposition of no more than 10 hours on a mutually agreeable date.
2) The court denied the plaintiff's motion to quash the subpoena for production of documents from the plaintiff's previous attorney. The court found that the plaintiff waived privilege by suing both the defendant and previous attorney and putting the attorney's conduct at issue. The documents were ordered to be produced.
The court granted the defendant's motion to dismiss the charges of theft of services and disorderly conduct for lack of probable cause. Regarding the theft charge, the court found that the defendant had a legal right under his lease to use a dumpster for trash, and that using the wrong dumpster on the property did not constitute a crime. For the disorderly conduct charge, the court determined there was insufficient context or evidence of when the alleged threatening statements occurred to support the charge. Therefore, both charges were dismissed.
The Employment Judge found that the solicitors (1) failed to advise the Claimant timeously that there was no prospect of settlement and (2) failed to implement the Claimant's instructions to withdraw the claim until just before the hearing. Based on this, the Judge ordered the solicitors to pay the employer's wasted costs from the date the Claimant would have withdrawn if properly advised. The Judge refused to allow the solicitors to produce their file for the first time at the hearing to show the Claimant had been advised. The appeal was dismissed, with the Judge finding the Employment Judge was entitled to refuse the late file production and did not misdirect himself on the applicable principles.
This document is Plaintiff Jamil Sharif's memorandum in opposition to Defendant Decatur Hotels, LLC's motion to set aside a default judgment. Sharif argues that service of process was properly perfected on Decatur Hotels.

Therefore, Sharif asserts that the default judgment should not be set aside under Rules 60(b)(4), 60(b)(6), or 60(b)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.
This document is a letter from Plaintiffs' counsel opposing a motion to dismiss from Defendant Unigestion Holding.

The letter also argues the complaint meets pleading standards and that dismissal would be improper at this stage.
Execution of unexecuted or compromised decreeCgemini
The document discusses the execution of compromised decrees under Indian law. It provides some key points:
1. Once a lawsuit or decree is compromised, the parties are barred from raising the same issue in court again or related issues from the same claim.
2. There are some exceptions where a compromised decree can still be executed - if the compromise was not properly recorded, if one party fulfilled their obligations but the other did not, or if there was a breach of the compromise agreement.
3. The validity of a consent decree depends on the validity of the compromise agreement it is based on. If a party can prove in court that there was no actual compromise, the court may reconsider the decree.

SDFL - Order Dismissing Various Claims - Jurisdiction - Trade SecretsPollard PLLC
The Plaintiff filed a 20 count lawsuit alleging, among other counts, theft of trade secrets, unjust enrichment, breach of fiduciary duty, trademark infringement, violations of the Computer Fraud Abuse Act and more.
This is the classic shock and awe, everything and the kitchen sink approach to litigation.
In this instance, that approach backfired spectacularly. The Court dismissed 17 of the counts on jurisdictional grounds -- holding they cannot be refiled in federal court but must be pursued, if at all, in state court.
The court also dismissed one count with prejudice. Denied the motion to dismiss with respect to one count. And granted leave to amend on one count--- but warned plaintiff and its counsel to mind Rule 11 if they decide to amend.
Think twice before you file a 20 count complaint in federal court where you are literally throwing everything at the wall and hoping something sticks.
The petitioning creditors filed a motion requesting permission to file redacted versions of confidential pleadings and exhibits under seal in bankruptcy proceedings against Allied Systems Holdings, Inc. and Allied Systems, Ltd.

Parties involved in construction disputes must be careful instructing third parties for written and oral advocacy before tribunals. In order that the decision isn’t set aside for fraud the consultant or consultancy should be a reputable one regulated by an industry professional body such as the RICS or CICES or is a unlicensed barrister that is regulated by the BSB and Inns of Court. By using a reputable party to represent them they will get the best value and hopefully an enforceable decision that will not be overturned due to unethical conduct.

This order addresses a motion for preliminary injunction against the CDC's nationwide eviction moratorium. The order provides background on the COVID-19 pandemic and measures taken, including eviction moratoria. It describes the plaintiffs, who are landlords seeking to evict tenants for nonpayment of rent. It also outlines the requirements to qualify for protection under the CDC moratorium.

This document is the verified answer and memorandum of law submitted by respondents John R. Polster and Maryanne McCutcheon in opposition to petitioner Rashad Scott's order to show cause in an Article 78 proceeding. The respondents argue that the proceeding should be dismissed because it is barred by the statute of limitations. Specifically, they argue that the petitioner's 2013 FOIL request is a duplicate of his 2009 request, and he failed to seek judicial review of the denial of the 2009 request within the four month statute of limitations period. Alternatively, they argue that even if the 2009 request was constructively denied, the statute of limitations began to run then. Finally, they argue that the denial of the 2013 request was not arbitrary or capric

The document discusses the procedure for setting aside an ex parte decree under Order IX Rules 6, 7, and 13 of the Code of Civil Procedure. It explains that an ex parte decree can be set aside if the defendant was not duly served summons or was prevented from appearing in court for "sufficient cause". The defendant must satisfy the court of one of these grounds and the court has discretion to set aside the decree subject to certain terms.
Discovery and interrogatories allow parties to obtain relevant information from opponents to assess their cases. Discovery concerns obtaining documents, while interrogatories involve answering questions under oath. The court has discretion to order discovery and interrogatories if necessary for fair case disposal or cost savings. Privileged documents like legal advice are exempt from discovery. Parties have duties to conduct thorough searches and provide full, truthful answers throughout proceedings. Non-compliance can result in sanctions like dismissing claims or defenses.
This document is Defendant's brief in support of a motion for summary disposition in a case regarding a car accident. It argues that summary disposition is appropriate under MCR 2.116 (C)(10) and (C)(8) because Plaintiff cannot establish specific facts to support their claim or a valid legal basis for the claim. It also argues that no genuine issues of material fact exist regarding Defendant's liability under the Michigan No-Fault Act. The brief provides background on the standards for summary disposition and reviews the purpose and relevant sections of the Michigan No-Fault Act regarding insurance requirements.

(1.) Motion hearing: Demurrer
Moving party: Defendants
(2.) Motion hearing: Motion to Strike
Moving party: Defendants
Tentative Ruling: (1.) The Demurrer to the Second Cause of Action for Interference with
Economic Relations is Sustained without Leave to Amend.
Tentative Ruling: (2.) The Motion to Strike Paragraph 29 of the SAC, appearing at lines
9 through 12, on page 5 and paragraph c of the prayer to the
second cause of action of the SAC, appearing at line 23 on page 6 is
granted without Leave to Amend.
On September 2, 2015, plaintiff filed the Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”) in which three
(3) causes of action are set out: 1. Negligence, 2. Interference with Economic Relations, and 3.
Trespass to Land Encroachment upon an Easement. Plaintiff alleges that he owns real property
in Long Barn, Tuolumne County, California adjacent to two (2) lots owned by defendants Ralph
Brick and Thomas Brick. Plaintiff further alleges that defendants have piles of debris and junked
cars scattered across their lots which devalue his properties (sic) and render the selling of his one
property almost impossible. (SAC, p. 2, ¶7.) Also, the SAC references Exhibits 1 through 3
which are not attached to the SAC filed with the Court.
Defendants demur to the Second Cause of Action of the SAC on the grounds that it is uncertain
and fails to state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action for interference with economic
relations against defendants. Plaintiff filed opposition to the demurrer and motion to strike on
November 2, 2015, and defendants filed a reply on November 6, 2015.
(1.) Interference with Economic Relationship
The Third District Court of Appeal has held: “The tort of negligent interference with economic
relationship arises only when the defendant owes the plaintiff a duty of care. (J'Aire Corp. v.
Gregory (1979) 24 Cal.3d 799, 803.)

In the instant case, plaintiff alleges that defendants have disrupted his relationship with the real
estate company and potential buyers. (SAC, p. 4, ¶ 19.) “Defendants have disrupted plaintiff’s
business relationship with his real estate company by interfering with agents and potential buyers
by standing at the property boundary between defendants’ property and plaintiff’s property and
glaring menacingly at the real estate agents attempting to show the property, as well as the
prospective buyers. Defendants also erected numerous large “No Trespassing” signs facing
plaintiff’s property, each in a direct line of sight of every window in the plaintiff’s home and
proliferated the accumulation of junk and debris abutting plaintiff’s rightful use and enjoyment
of the property – neither of which creates a tenable circumstance to market a property for sale.
Additionally, defendants have gone so far as to call and threaten real estate agents who were
attempting to see the property, even leaving harassing and threatening voicemails at their place
of business.” (SAC, p.4, ¶21.) However, this conduct on the part of defendants is not actionable
(Yurick v. Superior Court (1989) 209 Cal.App.3d 1116, 1129.) All of the activity of which
plaintiff complains occurred on defendants’ property and the allegation of “glaring menacingly”
is uncertain and ambiguous and subject to a motion to strike. (Code Civ. Proc., § 436.)
In alleging a cause of action for interference with economic advantage, a plaintiff must also show
that the defendant’s conduct was independently unlawful in that it is proscribed by some
constitutional, statutory, regulatory, common law, or other determinable legal standard.
(Winchester Mystery House, LLC v. Global Asylum, Inc. (2012) 210 Cal.App.4th 579, 596.)
Here, the plaintiff alleges defendants violated Sections 8.12.030 and 8.16.020 of the “Municipal
Code” (SAC, p.2, ¶12); however; Long Barn is not a municipality and, if the code reference is to
the Tuolumne County Ordinance Code, Section 8.12.030 refers to Agricultural Burning and
Section 8.12.020 refers to the storage of explosives, neither of which give rise to a duty of
defendants to plaintiff and neither of which are at issue in this case.
Plaintiff has failed to state a cause of action against defendants in the Second Cause of Action of
the SAC for interference with economic advantage so that the Court will sustain the demurrer
without leave to amend.
(2.) Motion to Strike
Defendants filed a motion to strike Paragraph 29 of the SAC, appearing at lines 9 through 12, on
page 5; and Paragraph c of the prayer to the second cause of action of the SAC, appearing at
lines 23, on page 6. Paragraph 29 of the SAC appears within the second cause of action for
interference with economic relations at page 5 and states as follows:

“At the time of defendants’ interference with economic relations, defendants were guilty of
malice, oppression, and/or fraud, in conscious disregard of plaintiff’s rights, thereby warranting
an assessment of punitive damages in favor of plaintiff and against defendant [sic] in an amount
appropriate to punish defendants and deter others from engaging in similar conduct.”
“In an action for the breach of an obligation not arising from contract, where it is proven by
clear and convincing evidence that the defendant has been guilty of oppression, fraud, or malice,
the plaintiff, in addition to the actual damages, may recover damages for the sake of example and
by way of punishing the defendant.” (Civ. Code, § 3294.)
“‘Malice’ means conduct which is intended by the defendant to cause injury to the plaintiff or
despicable conduct which is carried on by the defendant with a willful and conscious disregard
of the rights or safety of others.” (Civ. Code, § 3294(c)(1).)
“The mere allegation an intentional tort was committed is not sufficient to warrant an award of
punitive damages. (See Taylor v. Superior Court (1979) 24 Cal.3d 890, 894, 157 Cal.Rptr. 693,
598 P.2d 854, citing Prosser, Law of Torts (4th ed. 1971) § 2, at pp. 9-10.) Not only must there
be circumstances of oppression, fraud or malice, but facts must be alleged in the pleading to
support such a claim. (G.D. Searle & Co. v. Superior Court (1975) 49 Cal.App.3d 22.) [Footnote
omitted.]” (Grieves v. Superior Court (1984) 157 Cal.App.3d 159, 166.)
Here, the plaintiff states no facts tending to support a conclusion that either defendant intended to
harm plaintiff or to cause injury to plaintiff’s land. While the allegations in the SAC may
indicate unfriendly or boorish conduct, the allegations do not allege conduct amounting to
malice or oppression as those terms are defined in Civ. Code, § 3294.) The motion to strike
paragraph 29 of the SAC appearing at lines 9 through 12, on page 5 and paragraph c of the
prayer to the second cause of action of the SAC, appearing at line 23, on page 6, will be granted.
