Erwin v. Stewart Humphries
Plaintiff Sue Erwin appeals from a judgment in favor of defendants Stewart, Humpherys, Burchett & Molin and Richard J. Molin in this legal malpractice case. Erwin contends the trial court erred in granting defendants' motion for summary judgment because defendants failed to bear their burden to show the absence of a triable issue of material fact. She further argues that considering evidence that appears to negate her case violated due process because such evidence was not presented until shortly before the trial court ruled. While Erwin's case appears weak, even meritless, we must reverse because defendants failed to comply with the exacting requirements of Code of Civil Procedure section 437c.
