Los Angeles-Long Beach, CA (1888PressRelease)
October 24, 2009 - The business and corporate law division of the Mesriani Law Group has successfully defended a business client against a trade secret violation claim following the granting of the Motion for Summary Judgment by the state Superior Court, resulting in $ 200,000 sanctions in favor of Czar Jewelry Inc., as well as costs in the approximate sum of $15,000 for a total of $215,000.
The summary judgment was granted after the Court had determined that there was no “triable issue of material law or facts” and found that the plaintiff had “acted in bad faith” pursuant to the bad faith standards under California Civil Code section 3426.4. A subsequent motion was brought by Mesriani & Associates seeking sanctions for their attorney’s fees and costs in defending a frivolous and worthless lawsuit.
Winning this motion is considered a major achievement for the firm since in most cases, a summary judgment is granted only in exceptional circumstances. To do this, Mesriani’s business litigation team had to overcome several obstacles, including having to deal with the legal standard that allows a party to oppose the Motion not by proving its case but by simply providing any possible dispute of law or fact.
Nevertheless, Mesriani’s business attorneys were able to prove that the other party (plaintiff) had no support for its claims, even using the other party’s own documents and statements against them. With exceptional legal research and knowledge of the law, the Mesriani Law group has proven once again what it takes to be one of L.A.’s top law firms.
With these efforts, the Mesriani Law Group has again allowed another client to move on with its business, free from the risks of a lawsuit and litigation, yet recovering their fees and costs and deter others from filing such frivolous lawsuits against them.
