Cross Petroleum v. Bal CA3
The present appeal is the converse of plaintiff’s prior appeal in this matter. Here, defendant Rajinder Singh Bal appeals from the final judgment in favor of plaintiff Cross Petroleum on defendant Bal’s guaranty of a credit agreement between plaintiff Cross Petroleum and a gas station that Bal’s former codefendants owned and operated (who are no longer parties to this action). In response to our previous opinion on the appeal of plaintiff Cross Petroleum, in which we reversed and remanded because we found the guaranty was not void for uncertainty (Cross Petroleum v. Bal (June 11, 2015, C075956) [nonpub. opn.] (Cross Petroleum)), the trial court rejected defendant Bal’s claim of exoneration (which we had directed it to consider) without receiving any additional evidence (which we had given it discretion to admit on remand). It is now defendant Bal’s turn to appeal.
