(St petersburg lawyer) Green v. Jefferson Cty. Comm.
More info…
(U.S. 11th Cir., Civil Procedure, Constitutional Law) In a Due Process challenge to changes in a county’s retirement system, summary judgment for Defendant is affirmed, where res judicata barred Plaintiffs’ claims because Plaintiffs shared an identical interest with plaintiffs in previously-filed state court actions asserting the same claims.
King v. Cessna Aircraft Co.
(U.S. 11th Cir., Civil Procedure, Injury And Tort Law, International Law, Transportation) In a tort action based on an airline accident, the dismissal of the complaint based on forum non conveniens is affirmed, where Italy was an adequate forum to litigate the dispute, many of the Plaintiffs were from Europe, and Italian law applied to the case.
Dillon v. Cobra Power Corp.
(U.S. 6th Cir., Civil Procedure, Injury And Tort Law, Manufacturing, Product Liability) In an action based on an allegedly defective boat, judgment for Plaintiff is reversed, where the District Court erred by reversing the summary judgment it granted to the boat’s engine manufacturer following a bench trial in which the manufacturer did not participate.
Swift v. Superior Court of Santa Clara County
(Cal. App., Civil Procedure, Landlord Tenant Law) In a landlord tenant action, petition for a writ of mandamus directing Santa Clara County Superior Court to vacate an order striking a peremptory challenge seeking to disqualify the judge in the case is granted where the trial court judge erred in striking the challenge, as his only factual determinations in earlier hearings were made in connection with discovery motions and did not relate to the merits of the case. The limited exceptions to automatic disqualification under Code of Civ. Pro. section 170.6 thus do not apply, and the trial court is directed to enter a new order accepting the peremptory challenge.
