Amirnezhad v. Ghayam CA2/8
Defendant and Appellant Eric Ghayam appeals from a judgment against him for breach of contract and breach of fiduciary duty with respect to an oral partnership he formed with Plaintiff and Respondent Ghadir Amirnezhad to own and operate a restaurant called Garden Café. As part of the judgment, Ghayam was also ordered to pay Amirnezhad’s attorneys’ fees and costs. Ghayam asserts that the judgment must be reversed for the following reasons: (1) Amirnezhad lacked standing to prosecute certain claims against him, including those resulting in the damages award, because those claims belong to a corporation called The Garden Bakery Cafe Inc.; (2) Amirnezhad failed to verify his complaint as required by section 761.020 of the Civil Code; (3) the trial court’s calculation of damages was not supported by substantial evidence; (4) the trial court erred in admitting certain documents not produced in discovery;
