Dan, I filed a motion to compel the defense to respond to my interrogatories back on 3 November; that was the last day for discovery. Apparently, the judge has not ruled on the motion because I have not filed a Notice of Submission. How do I file a Notice of Submission?

Our rural neighborhood has 3 properties that are used as party spots for young people. They leave in the wee hours - probably not sober and we are concerned about accidents. They also got rowdy a few nights ago and tipped over a pick up truck. Dangerous stuff. We wonder if there is a liability factor to the property owners, if they are aware of and continue to allow their property to be used this way. What state are you in? It matters because laws vary by location. What steps have you taken sofar? Anything else you want the Lawyer to know before I connect you?

In a family court trial, my lawyer asked for a motion for a directed verdict based on the wrong code section (CCP 630 a instead of CCP 631.8 a). The judge granted it, and a verdict was made. Will the wife win an appeal based on this mistake, and if so, can she have a trial again and present her side from the beginning?
