The Second District issued its ruling today in Duchrow v. Forrest, __ Cal. App. 4th __, No. B233736 (2d Dist. Apr. 30, 2013). The panel held that the lower court abused its discretion by permitting an amendment to a complaint on the fourth day of a five-day trial, where there was no reason the amendment could not have been made sooner. The court found prejudice because, inter alia, the damages sought changed from $44,082.22, as pleaded in the complaint, to $312,260 in attorney fees. You can read more here.
