Ruling

appears that defendants' time line is the more accurate based on documentary evidence. Plaintiff might suggest that she could not take it down because she was dealing with medical issues. That might be, but under the agreement, it should never have been put up in the first place. The delay, for whatever reason, is significant. The settlement agreement is a contract like any other. It appears that plaintiff breached the contract by posting the video that disparaged defendants. That would be a material breach and would excuse defendants from further performance.

The court need not, and does not, determine definitively whether a cause of action would lie against either party for breach, but the court does believe that defendants' showing is that it likely would be so considered. Accordingly, the motion to enforce the settlement by requiring defendants to continue to pay additional sums is DENIED. The court will not go further and opine as to what might or might not be the consequence of anything that might happen in the future or is not now before the court.

to obtain the court's tentative ruling. Case Number: 26SMCV00232 Hearing Date: August 27, 2026 Dept: I The court will inquire. "Premises" is apparently a defined term, but the court cannot find the definition in the lease. The court does note that the part of the "Parking" clause seems to support plaintiff's position. The court will CONTINUE the hearing to next week to allow defendant to file a preliminary opposition. But unless there is some evidence that the garage is communal space, plaintiff makes a good point. | Home -->)" -->
