| Case Number: | *******6441 | |
| Case Title: | CHARLES EVANS JR. ET AL VS. GENERAL ELECTRIC COMPANY ET AL | |
| Court Date: | NOV-02-2017 09:30 AM | |
| Calendar Matter: | MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT Or, In The Alternative, Summary Adjudication | |
| Rulings: | On Asbestos Law and Motion Calendar for Thursday, November 2, 2017 in Department 503, Line 2. Defendant Atkn Company's motion for summary judgment and alternate motion for summary adjudication of plaintiffs' Negligence II (Survival) and Negligence II (Wrongful Death) causes of action are denied. On the issue of duty, defendant's motion fails for the following reasons, any of which are sufficient on their own to warrant denial: Even if defendant could successfully invoke the sophisticated user defense, that defense does not completely dispose of the issue of duty or of plaintiffs' two causes of action. The defense applies only to failure to warn claims and defendant did not demonstrate that plaintiffs' claims are based solely on a failure to warn theory. (See Johnson v. American Standard, Inc. (2008) 43 Cal.4th 56; Johnson v. Honeywell International Inc. (2009) 179 Cal.App.4th 549, 559; Webb v. Special Electric Co., Inc. (2016) 63 Cal.4th 167, 187.) Defendant did not properly plead the sophisticated user defense as it pertains to decedent Charles Evans, Jr. in its answer. Defendant failed to sustain its burden of demonstrating that the sophisticated user defense applies to bar plaintiffs' claims against it. Defendant's evidence does not demonstrate that decedent knew, or should have known, of the hazards of asbestos-containing insulation during the time he worked at the Willamette Shipyard in the late-1960s. (Johnson v. American Standard, Inc. (2008) 43 Cal.4th 56.) On the issue of causation, defendant failed to sustain its burden of demonstrating that plaintiffs do not possess and cannot reasonably obtain evidence that decedent was exposed to asbestos-containing products or materials attributable to defendant. Decedent's deposition testimony precludes defendant from successfully invoking the factually devoid prong of Aguilar v. Atlantic Richfield Co. (2001) 25 Cal.4th 826 or, alternatively, it is sufficient to create a triable issue whether the laborers at issue were employed by Willamette Shipyard, the sole issue raised by defendant's causation arguments. DiCola v. White Bros. Performance Products, Inc. (2008) 158 Cal.App.4th 666 does not bar decedent's identification of the name on the hard hats. Plaintiffs' objections nos. 1 through 5 are sustained. The Court did not consider defendant's reply papers for failure to lodge a courtesy copy. (S.F. Local Rules 2.7(B), 2.11(T).) If a hearing is requested, it will be at 9:30a.m. A court reporter will not be provided by the court. If any party wishes to have the matter reported, the parties must meet and confer to agree on only one court reporter for any reported matter in this case. There will be only one official record in a case. The designated reporter must be licensed pursuant to Bus. & Prof. Code, Sec. 8016. If the parties are unable to agree on one reporter, the court will designate a qualified court reporter that will provide the official transcript for the matter. The party or parties shall pay for the cost of reporter. Any party who contests a tentative ruling must send an email to contestasbestostr@sftc.org by 4:30pm stating their intention to contest. If a tentative ruling is contested, the prevailing party is required to prepare a proposed order repeating verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must bring the proposed order to the hearing. If a tentative ruling is not contested, the prevailing party is required to prepare a proposed order repeating verbatim the substantive portion of the tentative ruling and must either bring the proposed order to the hearing or submit it after the hearing in compliance with CRC 3.1312. = (503/CML) |

| Rulings: | On Asbestos Law and Motion Calendar for December 8, 2016, Thursday, in Department 503, Line 3. Plaintiffs' motion for order granting leave to file second amended complaint is granted. The Second Amended Complaint is deemed served as of the date of granting this motion on all defendants who have previously appeared. No opposition filed. If a hearing is requested, it will be at 9:30a.m. A court reporter will not be provided by the court.
