MINTZ, LEVIN, COHN, FERRIS, GLOVSKY AND POPEO,P.C. ET AL Case Number: | | CGC25631674 | Case Title: | | SALEM MANSOIR VS. MINTZ, LEVIN, COHN, FERRIS, GLOVSKY AND POPEO,P.C. ET AL | Court Date: | | 2026-06-16 09:30 AM | Calendar Matter: | | DEMURRER to Amended COMPLAINT | Rulings: | | Real Property/Housing Court Law and Motion Calendar for June 16, 2026. Line 2.1.

DEFENDANT DEMURRER to Amended COMPLAINT is SUSTAINED with leave to amend to address Defendants' argument that the First through Third Causes of Action are duplicative of each other. The Court tends to agree that the claims appear to be predicated on the same factual allegations. In an amended complaint, Plaintiff should be specific as to which claims (if more than one) fall under each cause of action.

With respect to the emails and the claim for breach of Rules of Professional Conduct, rule 1.8.1, the Court cannot interpret the emails to decern whether the agreement or the terms of the agreement complied with rule 1.8.1 on demurrer. These issues are better suited for a motion for judgment on the pleadings or a motion for summary adjudication. The same is true for Defendants' arguments relating to the statute of limitations. Whether "continued representation" includes the appeal following the arbitration cannot be determined on demurrer without authority on point. =(501/CFH)
