Court Affirms Sanctions Award
June 2, 2015In this post-judgment litigation, the plaintiff sought to collect on a judgment against the defendant. During the course of the litigation, the plaintiff filed pleadings and made assertions that the defendant felt were false. Consequently, the defendant successfully moved for sanctions under Chapter 10 of the Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code.
The plaintiff appealed and raised nearly every possible argument for overturning the sanctions award, but the Court of Appeals rejected them all, affirming the award.
