Sotis vs. IANTD

[The Chairman]

that’s on him.

Kind of the point of the suit, n'est pas?

 

[Wookie]

Winner winner chicken dinner. Forgot to mention, Sotis’ Insurance policy specifically prohibits commercial diving, and that’s why I also have a commercial policy.

What impact/protection does it have for Add Helium to be a Delware Corp?

There's some sort of bankruptcy proceeding from 2015. Don't know if it's him or his bankruptcy.

• Is the release related only to training? See the example LR attached, which references "Course Title"...

This reminds me of the case against Scuba Luv on Catalina Island, California in 2005 when their waiver was presented to try to dismiss a case. A judge ruled that due to the underlined, bolded title on a victim's waiver, it limited itself and the following paragraph was exculpatory. The title of the waiver was "Equipment rental agreement, liability release and assumption of risk of scuba & snorkel gear for boat dives or multiple day rentals". Since the victim rented the gear for a shore dive rather than a boat dive and did not rent for multiple days, it was ruled (after appeal) that the waiver did not apply.

The waiver you attached sure looks like it is limited to a student while completing a course in both the title and the first paragraph.

Nothing exciting here.

If it's Sotis, then he has to wait 7 years to go bankrupt again. Not sure of the date, but if it was 2015, then he's waiting until 2022 and many judgements are immune to bankruptcy.

Sequential C7s - I thought it was 8 years?

Still options open at the BK office - a Chapter 20 or a big boy Chapter 11.

AH and Sotis - hit with Sanctions and Attorney's Fees - CACE18-000105, 190715

"Plaintiffs' legal costs in this action are being funded by foreign insurers as part of Plaintiffs' defense in the ongoing Steward wrongful death litigation."

Case 18-000105-CA

Question - When is a declaratory Judgment appropriate and what are the necessary underlying factors necessary for such relief?

"The Court further finds that, in their Complaint, Plaintiffs prayed that this Court lift IANTD's suspensions and reinstate Plaintiffs to IANTD as a matter of law, which is not a remedy available under an action for declaratory relief."​

"ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendant's Motion for Summary Judgment is GRANTED."​

Judge Feagle didn't seem to happy that the two-year-old case was dragging on. His findings would seem to make little of the P's legal theories, and timeliness.

"A declaratory judgment is not appropriate when there is not a bona fide dispute between contending parties that presents a justiciable question."​

See upstream for D's summary judgment motion.

"... counsel for Plaintiffs did concede at the hearing on Defendant's Motion that Add Helium had recently gone out of business."

This might answer that for you as it did for me: Declaratory Judgment
