In a recent opinion, the Court of Appeal reversed by noting that one of the grounds supporting the judgment was forfeited…by the respondent.
Wait. By the respondent? An appellant must be careful not to forfeit argument, but not the respondent. We discuss, and express gratitude that this one was not published—and thus cannot be cited as precedent.
We also discuss:
- Have a short trial? Volunteer to be timekeeper. Otherwise, your request for a statement of decision may be deemed untimely under the strict rules for trials under 8 hours.
- Suing for unfair business practices? Double check standing based on “injury in fact,” and consider the conflicting arguments in the majority and dissent in Lagrisola v. North American.
- Opposing counsel stepping over the line of “zealous advocacy”? Court of Appeal calls out counsel in a recent case, but no sanctions—perhaps because respondent did not file a motion?
- A strange example of a moot appeal leading to a summary REVERSAL.
