Because of these motions, the plaintiff was forced to appeal. Result: Due to the protective cross-appeal obtained for the client, the Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court s reductions in damages and struck additional damages from the previous judgment.

Result: The action was dismissed at the pleading stage - following three demurrers based on the primary right doctrine applied in relation to the statute of limitation defense. Plaintiff appealed the dismissal and the appeal affirmed the trial court's decision.
