E-filing outage cause a late filing? & other cases
Manage episode 432854330 series 3344448
A ransomware attack hit the Los Angeles County Superior Court in July 2024, affecting e-filing services. Did you miss a filing deadline because of this? We discuss two Rules of Court that could help.
We also cover:
- Are anti-SLAPP orders “judgments”?
- Court of Appeal to litigants: Your adverbs are unwelcome here. Ok to say “The order is erroneous.” But not “The order is transparently erroneous.”
- Appeal might be actually late, but constructively on time.
- Two anti-tax initiatives struck down: one too broad, the other too narrow.
- On HOA Christmas party ban, a split 9th Cir. panel with three opinions.
- If you are “seriously annoying” you can get hit with a restraining order, but not for being regular annoying.
