Congratulations to Gabriela Kipnis on her second victory in MHC Operating Limited Partnership, et al. v. The Nicholson Family Partnership – a case in which CMK represents a resident of the Westwinds Mobilehome Park in a lawsuit against the landowners who are seeking to redevelop the land. Just days after oral argument, the California Court of Appeal affirmed the trial court’s order denying the landowner’s petition to compel arbitration. The appellate court found that our client’s claims are ripe and that the trial court did not err in applying the third party litigation exception to arbitration. A great (and speedy) result for our client and the other 1,600 residents of Westwinds facing potential eviction.
