LACBA - Remedies Section

Securing a judgment and collecting a judgment are two of the most critical aspects of a lawsuit and without these remedies a win for your client may still be a hollow victory.

Civil Procedure
"If a party timely objects to a Code of Civil Procedure 170.6 motion and makes a prima facie showing that the motion's proponent is lodging bad faith blanket challenges against a judge, a court may look beyond the 170.6 affidavit or oral statement and inquire into the legitimacy of the party's assertions of prejudice."

Real Property
"The harm that a homeowner suffered from the presence of stray voltage on her property did not outweigh the public benefit of a utility company's provision of electricity as a matter of law. The balancing of harm versus public benefit is for a jury to perform. A trial judge erred in allowing a homeowner to present evidence of stray voltage incidents at other properties, and at her property before she bought it, in her suit against a utility company seeking damages for the presence of stray voltage at her property."

Civil Procedure
"Defendant met its burden of establishing that the conduct underlying plaintiff's complaint arises from protected activities where each cause of action was based on communications from the officials of one public entity with officials from another public entity about a commercial development project that was a matter of significant public interest. A single member of a city council is not the board or governing body and delivering a letter to one member at a private meeting away from city hall, and where he did not recognize the letter as a claim and did not forward it to the city clerk or the city council, is not the equivalent of actual receipt by the board or governing body."

Civil Procedure
"Plaintiffs' complaint, which set forth detailed facts but, in its causes of action, merely alleged the defendants deprived them of various constitutional and statutory rights, failed to satisfy Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 8(a)(2) s requirement of a short and plain statement of the claim showing that the pleader is entitled to relief; district courts do not have to accept shotgun pleadings."

Civil Procedure
"Although there may be situations in which a costs judgment should be treated as a final judgment for the purposes of challenging the related costs order and any subsequent orders, plaintiffs could not appeal a costs judgment entered after a nonappealable voluntary dismissal without prejudice to challenge the trial court s summary adjudication ruling and denial of their motion to set aside the voluntary dismissal."

Civil Procedure
"Where plaintiffs voluntarily dismiss their action before the court has reached a final resolution regarding any of the claims pleaded in the complaint, the effect of the dismissal is to terminate the action entirely, thus forfeiting the right to appeal."

Contracts
"A trial court did not abuse its discretion by reducing the compensable attorney hours in a fairly straightforward breach of contract case, the time sheet entries appeared to show some duplication of effort, and the attorney s practice of block billing made it impossible for the court to draw finer distinctions in making the reductions; the court erred in finding an attorney fee agreement did not authorize the recovery of paralegal fees where all parties implicitly agreed in their original briefing that the contract language was broad enough to cover them."
