Defendant Szerdahelyi’s unopposed motion for leave to file cross-complaint is GRANTED. Defendant is ordered to immediately file and serve the cross-complaint.

Moving Party to give NOTICE.

Defendant Szerdahelyi moves for leave to file an amended 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 pleading.” (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.)

Defendant seeks leave to file a cross-complaint for declaratory and injunctive relief.

The motion is GRANTED. Judicial policy favors resolution of all disputed matters in the same lawsuit. Moving Party is ordered to immediately file and serve the cross-complaint.
