		<description><![CDATA[Well, after telling lawyers that they must obtain rulings on their objections filed in motions for summary judgment, I have to report that things have changed a bit with the filing of the California Supreme Court&#8217;s opinion in Reid v. Google, 2010 WL 3034803 on August 5, 2010.  In fact, my posting of August 2, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In King v. Willmett, 2010 WL 3096258, the Third District Court of Appeal put another nail in the Hanif controversy, by finding that the collateral source rule precluded the reduction of the jury&#8217;s award.  In that case, the plaintiff was rear-ended and sued the driver for damages.  After the trial and jury verdict in plaintiff&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the biggest problems I encounter in dealing with summary judgment motions is the trial attorney&#8217;s failure to obtain rulings on his or her objections.  As we have discussed, if you make objections but fail to get a ruling on them, you might as well not have made the objections in the first place [...]]]></description>
