Tort Law Appellate Court Opinion

by Agati, Taryn

 

AC46295 - Orlando v. Liburd ("In this action arising out of a motor vehicle accident, the plaintiff, Rocco Orlando, appeals from the judgment of the trial court rendered in favor of the third-party defendant, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company (Nationwide), on counts three and four of the operative amended complaint and from the court's denial of a motion for leave to amend an earlier complaint. The plaintiff claims that the court improperly (1) denied his request to amend, which prevented him from curing alleged pleading deficiencies and (2) dismissed for lack of subject matter jurisdiction his counts directed against Nationwide because, contrary to the court's conclusion, the claims therein were ripe under the "make whole doctrine." We affirm the judgment of the trial court.")
