Tentative Ruling

HEARING DATE:                         March 25, 2024 

CASE NUMBER:                          22TRCV00273 

CASE NAME:                               David Zimmerman v Jay and Thomas Zimmerman

TRIAL DATE:                                 April 22, 2024

MOTION:                                     Ex parte application to amend Complaint to add derivative claims as to the additional entity Same Jadtar LP

TENTATIVE RULINGS:               Granted.  The trial date will need to be vacated pending an estimate completion date for the appraisals of these additional derivative claims, but it appears to be in the interests of justice (notwithstanding the delay in seeking the amendment and notwithstanding the fact that defendants’ legal strategy had been based on the prior allegations) to add nominal defendant Sam Jadtar LP and direct the appraisers to include these additional derivative claims to the claims the appraisers are already assessing.
