Pernell Choren (Associate-Washington, DC) recently convinced the Superior Court of the District of Columbia to grant a Motion for Judgment on behalf of a property management company in a property damages case. The plaintiff claimed that two contractors had destroyed several items of personal property during past renovation projects. At the conclusion of the plaintiff’s case-in-chief, Pernell requested that the court enter judgment for the firm’s client based on the plaintiff’s inability to offer evidence on duty, causation and damages. After hearing argument from both sides, the court granted the Motion for Judgment based on the plaintiff’s inability to offer an accurate valuation of her damages.
