David M. Morrow (Partner-Los Angeles, CA) and Michael Diaz (Of Counsel-Los Angeles, CA) successfully defended a commercial property owner and trustee in a habitability action before the Los Angeles County Superior Court. The plaintiff, a tenant at the client’s property in Los Angeles, asserted that the leased property was uninhabitable and a nuisance, alleging breaches of contract and habitability, numerous statutory violations, and seeking attorneys’ fees and punitive damages. David and Michael initially obtained judgment on the pleadings and struck plaintiff’s claims for attorneys’ fees and punitive damages. Based on those orders, they then prevailed on a motion to strike the plaintiff’s complaint and dismiss the action, resulting in a judgment in the client’s favor and dismissal of the case with prejudice. David and Michael later defeated the plaintiff’s post-judgment motion seeking relief, preserving the judgment and securing a complete victory for the client.
