Duel v. Dounel CA4/3
Defendant Amir Dounel appeals from a judgment in favor of plaintiff Ebrahim Duel, as trustee of The Ebrahim Duel Revocable Trust and authorized agent for 3211 E. Mandeville LLC (collectively Duel), on Duel’s claims for quiet title, cancellation of instrument, and injunctive relief. Dounel contends Duel is barred from asserting those claims in the instant action under the compulsory counterclaim rule of Code of Civil Procedure section 426.30, subdivision (a). As explained below, the claims in the instant action are subject to the compulsory counterclaim rule because they should have been brought in prior litigation between the parties in a related appeal (G058116). Accordingly, we reverse the judgment.
