Unilateral SACC Gets the Sack

Hedwall v. PCMV, LLC, No. B282111 (D2d4 Apr. 19, 2018)

Golfer is in a dispute with his Country Club over dues. Golfer cross-claimed against the Club and its Current and Former Owners. While Former Owners’ demurrer to Golfer’s first amended cross-claim was pending, Golfer filed a second amended cross-claim, without seeking leave to do so. The trial court struck the SACC. It then granted the demurrer to the FACC, without leave, except as to a claim for declaratory relief. The trial court later granted Former Owners judgment on the pleadings on the dec. relief claim, finding that it was moot. Golfer appealed. The trial court then denied Golfer’s request to stay the case as to the claims as to the Club and the Current Owners pending appeal.
