Cali-bros -- do you have to respond to lawsuit if not all defendants served?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: May 23rd, 2018 3:55 PM Author: lime hospital Eg. There are two defendants, Bob and Bill.
Bob is served on January 1.
Bill is never properly served.
Does Bob still need to file his answer by January 31? Or can he wait until 30 days from when Bill also gets served?

Yes, I'm a lawyer, but not a litigator and not in Cali. I probably know more about 75% of professions than I do about litigation. I literally am more qualified to be a general practitioner physician than a litigator.
A friend asked me to look this up for him as a favor. |

Date: May 23rd, 2018 4:24 PM Author: insecure concupiscible address trust fund Yes. If the other Ds do not respond, they will get defaultjudgment pwned. You should still respond
Edit: They also do not need to be served for your friend to be required to respond. If they are not served within a certain time period (check your local rules), then the judge may dismiss them from the case. |

|
Date: May 23rd, 2018 4:32 PM Author: insecure concupiscible address trust fund Both of them equate to a "response" but functionally they are very different. A MTD requests a court to dismiss them from the case, whereas an answer keeps the case alive. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3984755&forum_id=2#36113659) |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2018 4:36 PM Author: Thriller Resort Stock Car Yeah, isn't it standard to file a MTD/demurrer as opposed to an answer in OP's situation? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3984755&forum_id=2#36113689) |
|
Date: May 23rd, 2018 4:41 PM Author: insecure concupiscible address trust fund You should file a MTD if the complaint is sloppy or the allegations do not state a viable claim for relief, but otherwise answers are pretty standard. Filing an MTD for the sake of doing so is more expensive (from a billables standpoint) than just a general answer and can piss off a judge.
