Shoreline Aviation v. Superior Court
As explained in detail in another opinion filed concurrently, Shoreline Aviation, Inc. v. Superior Court (Mar. 2, 2007, G038154) [nonpub. opn.], the trial court refused to grant relief to extend the time to file a motion to quash for lack of personal jurisdiction. Petitioner, a small Massachusetts company named as a Doe defendant almost two years after the lawsuit was originally filed, missed the deadline to challenge jurisdiction by two weeks, due to excusable neglect. Plaintiff and real party in interest Paul Mumford, Sr., would not suffer any prejudice if the trial court granted the relief sought. Therefore, court issue a peremptory writ directing the trial court to grant the motion to extend time.
