Message: <blockquote data-quote="Alzrius" data-source="post: 8839589" data-attributes="member: 8461">So the motion hearing on November 22nd happened, with the details being as follows:So from what I can parse (and if any attorneys here want to offer some insights, corrections, or clarifications, please chime in!), the following happened:<ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Luke's request for summary judgment, i.e. for the court to make a ruling in favor of one party or the other without needing to go to trial, was rejected.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Steven Koch makes a motion to compel, i.e. to make someone provide testimony and/or documents, with the record not saying whom he's compelling. My guess is that, since he's been assigned to act as the personal representative of Gary's estate, his motion is directed against Gail, but that's speculation on my part.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">The court grants Koch's motion to compel, along with another motion to compel which Jennifer Gorn (one of Luke's attorneys) filed back in August. Again, no specifications as to whom she was compelling, or for what, though her working for Luke suggests that it was against Gail.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Koch specifies that he wants answers to questions (presumably as part of his motion) within thirty days, and the court agrees, noting that failure to comply with the motion could result in "findings of being not-credible."</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Jennifer Gorn then brings up the issue of who's paying Steven Koch's fees, and asks that he be granted full personal representative (i.e. executor) rights to Gary's estate. Theodore Johnson, Gail's attorney, objects to that, and the court elects not to rule on the matter.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A new trial date is set, with the trial now being scheduled to take place from April 19th-21st.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">A firm is appointed to conduct mediation through February 17th, with the fees for doing so being split between the two parties (i.e. Luke and Gail).</li> </ul></blockquote>
