California law now provides for initial discovery disclosures. Get a template handy for your upcoming cases. And watch out for the new minimum $1,000 sanction for discovery misconduct.
And some recent cases:
- The definitive answer whether orders on motion to enforce settlements are appealable is: Nobody has any friggin’ idea.
- And the answer on how to get review of orders on contempt attorneys' fees is pretty much the same.
- And after scouring cases for months, Tim finally found a reversal based on an evidentiary ruling…and it’s unpublished. And there’s a dissent. (And the dissent may be better reasoned than the majority.) So challenges to rulings on evidence are still losers.
