Civil Practice : Abuse Of Process – Frivolous Appeal – Trespass
Stephanie Maniscalco//June 30, 2016//
Where in an ongoing dispute between a property owner and a stickball player who allegedly trespassed the property owner argued that his action was improperly dismissed, the property owner had ample notice of the proceedings, and the trial court did not err in dismissing his action as untimely, and the property owner defaulted on the stickball player’s counterclaim for abuse of process, so his argument for good cause is not addressed, and his ongoing consumption of judicial resources supported an order that he pay $1,000 in damages for a frivolous appeal.
Judgment is affirmed.
