Bad Faith Litigation Case Summary

The plaintiff (Southern Prestige Industries, Inc.) initiated an action against the defendant (Independence Plating Corp.) in a North Carolina state court for a breach of contract. The plaintiff alleged that defects in the defendant’s anodizing process caused the plaintiff’s machine parts to be rejected by Kidde Aerospace. The defendant being a New Jersey corporation and having its only office and all of its personnel situated in the state filed a motion to dismiss citing lack of personal jurisdiction. The trial court denied the motion and the defendant appealed arguing that there were insufficient contacts to satisfy the due process of law requirements

The Alva family enrolled their son, Sergio, at Paradise Cove, a behavioral modification program for troubled youth which was operated by the Defendants. The Alvas then initiated a suit against Teen Help Worldwide Association of Specialty Programs, R & B Billing, Dixie Contract Services, Robert Lichfield, Karr Fransworth, and Brent Facer, alleging a number of tort claims which arose from the enrollment of their child. This initial suit was made in the U.S. District Court for the District of Utah on February 25, 2000. On August 5, 2003 the Defendants filed a motion for summary judgment, which the court granted after hearing arguments regarding the motion on December 16, 2003. The motion for summary judgment was granted and filed on December 17, 2003. The Plaintiffs then did not file their notice of appeal until January 17, 2004, which was after the deadline to file such notice. The court then required the Plaintiffs to show reason as to why the appeal should be honored even though it was late.

A) If tom finalized the loan agreement before the partnership is formed, he is negotiating the agreement on behalf of him personal. According to Georgia law, an agreement becomes enforceable when there is a meeting of parties’ minds “at the same time, upon the same subject matter, and in the same sense.” Cox Broadcasting v. National Collegiate Athletic Ass'n, 250 Ga. 391, 297 S.E.2d 733, 737 (1982). The letter of intent before the partnership formation was not applied under I.R.C §721 to be an exchange of property and Tom would have to recognize a gain in exchange of partnership interest. Also, if he negotiated the letter of intent to get a loan for the partnership because of his experience in the real estate business, he is rendering a

Procedural History: Respondents moved to suppress the evidence. The District Court suppressed in part, finding that the affidavit was inadequate to establish probable cause but also that none of the respondents had standing to challenge all of the searches. The Court also found a Burbank Police Officer acted in good faith.

Shahmaleki’s complaint is futile because the statute limitation has run on the civil rights claims. 42 U.S.C. § 1982 does not include its own statutes of limitations. Instead, courts borrow limitation periods from state law. Courts adopt the most analogous limitations period. In Kansas, the analogous action for § 1983 is injury to the rights of another. That means under Kansas law, the statutes of limitations for claims arising out of § 1983 is two years. Here, the statutes of limitations period has passed. The claim set out by Shahmaleki arose on May 1, 2013. As two years have passed since the claim arose, the statute of limitations has run and this Court should dismiss Shahmaleki’s complaint.

In a report I read from a source about the 1999 civil suit, Coretta Scott King, who was the wife of Dr. King. She was sure that Jowers, Mafia, local, state, and federal government agencies were connected with the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. She as well powerfully believed that James Earl Ray was not the shooter and he was just set up to take the blame for what happened.

In the instant matter, the claims against the insured certainly, allege bodily injury and property damage. Moreover, the facts suggest that this claim ultimately has arisen from an accident. Rather, Progressive’s duty to defend Tristate depends on whether the accident arising out of the use of an insured

Civil cases are when citizens are suspected of committing a crime, while criminal cases are when people with a criminal background are suspected of committing a crime. In a criminal case prosecutors look for undeniable proof in order to easily jail criminals. In civil courts, the goal of a lawyer is to find as much evidence as possible in favor of their position. People in civil courts are not necessarily criminals. They just want to win some money from the court case. There are no prosecutors or government lawyers in a civil court because people are just suing each other. There is a jury in criminal courts to decide whether or not the suspect is guilty or innocent.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Kanawha County residents met Tuesday to learn more information about payments from a court settlement related to the 2014 Elk River chemical spill.

What does it mean for a plaintiff to have “standing” to sue? A “standing to sue” is where the plaintiff must construct that they as the plaintiff are entitled for the courts to decide the dispute at hand (Pagnattaro, Cahoy, Magid, Reed, & Shedd, 2016). There are two things that the plaintiff must have alleged, which is first that the litigation entail a case or controversy. Then second a personal stake in the decision. Also the plaintiff should give their legal position and not of a third party (Pagnattaro et al., 2016).

There are two major lawsuits which the main populace has defined as frivolous. One of those cases is the McDonald’s split coffee case. This is the case where the plaintiff spilled her coffee and was rumored to sue McDonald’s for 2.7 million dollars and win. The other’s case is the Pearson dry cleaning case where a man sued Chung Dry Cleaner’s 54 million dollars for losing his pants. The plaintiff won in the McDonald’s Case and the Plaintiff lost in the Dry clearance’s case. In this paper we are going to dissect each case by the facts, the law, the issues, the ethical issues, the defendants preventative

A case concerning monopolies and the Court’s first antitrust case. In 1982, American Sugar Refining Company entered into agreements that allowed it to take over the four Pennsylvania refineries, including E.C. Knight Company, which would give American Sugar absolute control of 98 percent of the U.S. sugar refining business. The federal government sued to break the acquisition agreements because the agreement allows the sugar companies to operate as a monopoly in restraint of trade in violation of the Sherman Antitrust Act. The United States argued that the federal government can prohibit monopolies and set aside agreements that have created them in order to allow most Americans to enjoy

Then, it was the defense attorney’s turn to make the case. He started off by denying all the allegations and accusations against his notorious client. He argued that he was also the victim of war, who was captured as a prisoner of war by the Nazis while serving for the Soviets. He was a mere pawn of the blame game, he argued, which incited protests and even boos from the audience. The man at the back observed the trial unfazed, slouched deep in his seat. The passionately spoken words of the prosecutor or the defense attorney did not impress him in the least.

"[a]n insurance company has a duty to act in good faith in settling claims and a breach of that duty will give rise to a cause of action by the insured." Pasipanki v. Morton, 61 Ohio App. 3d 184, 185, 572 N.E.2d 234 (1990) (quoting Bean v. Metro. Prop. & Liab. Ins. Co., 9th Dist. No. 13543, 1988 Ohio App. LEXIS 4275, 1988 WL 114464 at *1 (Oct. 26, 1988)).
