TENTATIVE RULING

Defendants Heseon and Seung Jun Park’s unopposed motion for leave to file a cross-complaint is GRANTED.  Defendants are ordered to file and serve their cross- complaint by January 12, 2023.

Moving Parties to give NOTICE.

Defendants Heseon and Seung Jun Park move for leave to file a cross-complaint pursuant to CCP § 473.

“A court may, in furtherance of justice, and on such terms as may be proper, allow a party to amend any pleadings.” (CCP § 473(a)(1).)  Judicial policy favors resolution of all disputed matters between the parties in the same lawsuit. Thus, the courts discretion will usually be exercised liberally to permit amendments of the pleadings. (Nestle v. Santa Monica (1972) 6 Cal.3d 920, 939.) 

The court finds that judicial efficiency favors resolving all of the parties’ disputed matters in the same lawsuit.  

Accordingly, the motion is GRANTED.  Defendants are ordered to file and serve their cross- complaint by January 12, 2023.
