Hartford v. Karnazes CA1/2
At bottom, this litigation started life as a civil case. The merits of the original dispute have not been at issue for years. Nevertheless, the passage of years has done nothing to diminish the parties’ enduring animosity and tenacity in resisting each other. The latest visit to this court, as has been true for quite a time, involves the extended efforts by John J. Hartford to collect on a judgment against Elizabeth Karnazes, with whom he used to practice law. Evidence of the Dickensian history of this case is the register of actions, which comprises 147 pages, and is by itself a separate volume of clerk’s transcript. We have repeatedly referred the parties’ “ ‘campaigns of scorched earth litigation tactics.’ ” (Karnazes v. Hartford (June 27, 2014, A139421) [nonpub. opn.], quoting Karnazes v. Hartford (Feb. 10, 2014, A136400) [nonpub. opn].)
