New CA Landlord-Tenant Case

I do three things - all CA civil law related:

• I serve as a mediator, arbitrator and referee with ADR Services, Inc. conducting Zoom and in-person hearings throughout California. I relentlessly pursue closure as a mediator. As an arbitrator and referee, I preside over relaxed and friendly hearings, carefully review all admitted evidence, and issue fair and impartial decisions. I handle matters in the areas of business, employment, insurance (bad faith, coverage, UIM), probate, real property, and torts (elder abuse, legal malpractice, medical malpractice, personal injury, product liability, and wrongful death).  
• I provide Master Lawyer Mentoring™ services to law firms to train their associates to quickly become productive members by mastering essential skills and learning how to strategically work up and present their cases to obtain excellent results for their clients and the law firm. 
• I publish California Case Summaries™, preparing one-paragraph summaries of every new case published in California in annual, quarterly and monthly publications. My summaries give subscribers a competitive advantage. They always know the new case law and apply it to their cases to work up their cases better, make better arguments, get bigger settlements and win more summary judgments and trials.

Knowing the new case law makes me an excellent mediator, arbitrator, referee and mentor. In this blog post, I discuss a new civil case that was published last month. 

New Landlord-Tenant Case
Can A Tenant Use the Force Majeure Defense After It Was Closed During COVID-19?

Will a defendant tenant be excused from paying rent to the landlord because COVID-19 regulations and business interruptions triggered a force majeure provision in its lease? Last month, the First District Court of Appeal addressed this issue. California Case Summaries™ subscribers know what the court decided. To find out what happened, subscribe today by clicking here.
