Not Better Late Than Never

August 6, 2014

Plaintiff sued defendant for breach of a lease agreement and unpaid rent. Shortly before the hearing on the plaintiff’s motion, the defendant’s counsel filed a motion for leave to file a late response.  The trial court denied the defendant’s motion and granted the plaintiff’s MSJ.  The Court of Appeals affirmed the trial court’s decision, noting that the defendant did not attach any evidence to its motion and also failed to address all of the relevant factors in its argument.
