On Asbestos Law and Motion Calendar for Tuesday, November 18, 2025, Department 304, Line 1. Intervenors CNA and Harbor Insurance Company's Notice of Motion and Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings is OFF CALENDAR. Objection filed. No reply filed.
Intervenors' motion is untimely. Trial in this case is set for December 15, 2025. The motion was improperly set for hearing within 30 days of trial in violation of California Code of Civil Procedure section 438(e). Moreover, Intervenors previously sought ex parte relief to specially set this untimely motion, which the Court denied on October 28, 2025.
The moving party shall lodge with the clerk in Department 304 by the time set for this hearing a proposed order repeating verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling. Any party wishing to contest the tentative ruling must email contestasbestostr@sftc.org by 4:00 p.m. on the day before the hearing and state their intention to contest. If a hearing is requested, it will be on November 18, 2025, at 9:00 a.m. Attorneys may appear in person or remotely via zoom: Meeting ID 160 757 8308; Passcode: 485029. Face coverings are optional.
The Court no longer provides a court reporter in the Law and Motion department. Parties may retain their own reporter, who may appear in the courtroom or remotely. A retained reporter must be a California certified court reporter (CSR), for only a CSR's transcript may be used in California courts. If a CSR is being retained, include in your email all of the following: Their name, CSR and telephone number, and their individual work email address. There will be only one official record. If the parties cannot agree, the Court will designate a qualified court reporter to provide the official transcript for the matter, and the party or parties will bear the cost. =(304/EPS) | |
