REPORTER:
MEEMO TOMASSIAN, CSR 10435
TIME:
8:30 A.M.
APPEARANCES: FOR THE PLAINTIFF, MICHAEL J. HEMMING,
ESQ; FOR THE DEFENDANTS, JEREMY O. ARNAIZ, ESQ., AND
FRANK EDWARD HARRIGAN III, ESQ.
--o0o-THE COURT: PPJ.
MR. HEMMING: Good morning, your Honor.
Michael Hemming on behalf of PPJ and
cross-defendant Chandana Basu.
MR. ARNAIZ: Good morning, your Honor.
Jeremy Arnaiz for defendants and
cross-complainants.
MR. HARRIGAN: Good morning, your Honor.
Frank Harrigan for the plaintiff and
cross-complainants.
THE COURT: All right. Good morning.
Thank you for the briefing that the Court
requested with regard to the interpretation of the
verdict. I've reviewed the briefs. I've reviewed the
proposed forms of judgment.
I agree with plaintiff that the fact that the
jury awarded damages on the affirmative defense of
mitigation, which was specific to mitigation on the

cross-complaint; correct?
MR. ARNAIZ: Yes, your Honor. I don't know if
they included it in plaintiff's papers.
THE COURT: Well, it should be, because they
should have had a complete recitation of the verdicts.
MR. ARNAIZ: It is, your Honor. It's actually
Page 31, your Honor, of plaintiff's papers.
THE COURT: Okay. Thank you.
All right. Conversion: "Grewal,
cross-complainants against cross-defendants PPJ and
Chandana Basu, herein after known as PPJ."
So they were lumped together, which is
problematic.
MR. ARNAIZ: Your Honor, we'd always -- they
were -- Ms. Basu was specifically named as a defendant
in the cross-complaint, your Honor, and so we pursued
her as -THE COURT: But it should have been separated
out. You should have -- you lumped them together. It
should have been: "Did cross-complainant Grewal have
an ownership right to the money in the possession of
cross-defendant PPJ at any time?" So it should have
been "PPJ," then it should have been "Basu." Then, the
second question should have been: "Did PPJ wrongfully
interfere?" And then, "Did Chandana Basu?"
They should have been set out separately. And
I can't infer -- here's the problem: I can't infer
what the jury would have done. So it's not fair.

MR. ARNAIZ: Your Honor -THE COURT: We're going to have post-trial
motion, Mr. Arnaiz.
MR. ARNAIZ: It is there, your Honor.
THE COURT: Well, it's not. You lumped them
together. How could I determine whether the jury would
have found conversion as against PPJ versus conversion
as against Basu? They're not separated out. You just
said "PPJ." You lumped them together.
MR. ARNAIZ: But, your Honor, we did that
throughout all the special verdicts. I mean -THE COURT: That's a problem.
MR. ARNAIZ: -- Grewal was lumped together
also.
THE COURT: That's a problem.
MR. ARNAIZ: And the jury, when they found
conflicting positions, they came back with questions
asking if they can separate. They did that with the
trade secret. They did it with other issues.
THE COURT: And I'm supposed to infer that
because you lumped them together I should separate them
and find it separately when they didn't come to the
Court with any questions. I can't make those
inferences, Mr. Arnaiz.
MR. ARNAIZ: Well, your Honor, you don't need
to make those inferences. You just need to read the
special verdict itself as to both -THE COURT: I just did.

thinking.
All I have is your form says, "affirmative
defense, mitigation of damages, slash, breach of
contract." It does not say "fiduciary duty." It does
not say "fraud." It says, "breach of contract."
I can't sit as a 13th juror and say, "That's
what they meant." I wasn't there. So, listen -listen to what I'm saying, all I want is a judgment
submitted so that I can sign the judgment so that it
can be entered so the clock starts ticking. I can't
sua sponte grant you a new trial. I can't.
MR. HEMMING: Your Honor, so you want us to
prepare the verdict?
THE COURT: Plaintiff is to prepare the
verdict form and the judgment, submit it. And, again,
I'm encouraging you to try to settle the case. If you
want to go to someone other than Judge Sinanian and
start, fresh, I can possibly get some time with Judge
Bendix.
I don't know what your financial arrangements
are. I don't know whether the clients are paying by
the hour or what the story is. But you have gone
beyond the point of no return on this, way beyond that.
MR. HEMMING: Your Honor, with respect to the
judgment, did you want the interrogatories put in like
we did on -THE COURT: That's exactly the way you're
supposed to do it under California Rules of Court. You
