Banga v.The Restoration Clean Up Co.
Plaintiff Kamlesh Banga (Banga), who has represented herself for the duration of these proceedings, appeals from a judgment entered in favor of defendant The Restoration Cleanup Company, Inc. (Restoration) following a bench trial. She argues that the court committed reversible error in failing to issue a statement of decision and in granting Restoration’s motion for a “nonsuit†based on her failure to present sufficient evidence to support her causes of action. We affirm. First, the court did sign a statement of decision prepared by defense counsel, and procedural irregularities in the filing of that document do not require reversal of the judgment. Second, the “nonsuit,†which we treat as the granting of a motion for judgment under Code of Civil Procedure section 631.8,[1] was proper because plaintiff failed to present evidence in her case-in-chief sufficient to support a judgment in her favor.
