Singh v. Chima
Defendants and appellants Rapinder Singh Chima (Rapinder), his brother Rajinder Singh Chima (Rajinder), and their mother Palvinder Kaur Chima (Palvinder) (collectively defendants) appeal from a judgment entered following a court trial of plaintiff and respondent Jasbir Singhs (plaintiff) action for breach of contract, common counts, and fraud arising from the alleged failure to repay a promissory note. On appeal, defendants contend that the trial court abused its discretion when it granted plaintiffs motion in limine to bar Rajinders testimony as a discovery sanction without previously having issued an order to comply with discovery. We hold that the trial court erred and reverse the judgment as to Rapinder and Palvinder. Court dismiss the appeal as to Rajinder, who has not raised any issue contesting the default prove-up hearing as to him.
