#ThrowbackThursday to a landmark decision in Nevada law! 🏛️ In Gallegos v. Malco Enterprises of Nevada, the Nevada Supreme Court ruled that a judgment debtor's right of action could be assigned through a judicial proceeding to satisfy a judgment. In this case, Gallegos, having won a default judgment after a hit-and-run incident, sought to collect on the judgment by requesting the assignment of the defendant's unasserted legal claims against his insurer. The district court granted this request, assigning claims related to breach of contract and fiduciary duties. On appeal, the Nevada Supreme Court upheld the decision, stating that under NRS 21.080(1), all of a judgment debtor's property, including legal claims, can be used to satisfy a judgment. This decision emphasizes that a debtor's rights of action are considered personal property and are subject to execution. #LegalHistory #NevadaLaw

The Court of Appeal has recently confirmed the court's flexible approach to determining whether multiple claimants' claims can "conveniently" be disposed of in the same proceedings - but emphasised the need to ensure fairness to defendants by making sure each claimant's case is properly explained. Alan Watts, Will Glassey and I consider the court's decision in this latest post on our Litigation Notes blog. #hsfdisputes #disputeresolution

When your statement of claim is answered only with various excuses for failing to defend, it might be tempting to push for a default judgement in order to get what is owed to you. However, the court may take a different view of matters. It may choose to balance law and equity with procedure, as demonstrated in one recent Ontario case. Edward Lynde Q. Arb.

Today, I'm providing assistance to solicitor clients for @barristergroup handling a claim in nuisance for damage from a Neighbours property. Here are five top tips to consider: - Evaluate the expert report's robustness for potential cross-examination. - Understand whether the claim is for repairs or diminution, as having both is typically not feasible. - Assess the defendant's financial capacity or insurance coverage to ensure they can fulfill payment obligations. - Thoroughly examine the causation aspect of the case; ensure the report addresses all pertinent issues. - Determine the defendant's awareness of the nuisance and the efforts made to mitigate it. #LegalAdvice #NuisanceClaim #LegalProfession #TopTips https://lnkd.in/eiUwjjRS
