Paul Hastings LLP v. Superior Court
Petitioner law firm challenges the trial court’s order denying summary judgment or summary adjudication of issues in this legal malpractice action, arguing that real party, its former client, cannot establish causation because it ultimately prevailed in the underlying action. We issued an alternative writ. We now conclude the court correctly denied summary judgment but hold that summary adjudication should have been granted as to the claim for punitive damages.
