Beuchel v. Superior Court CA2/2
This case illustrates the wisdom of the Croatian proverb: “Better a bad harvest than a bad neighbor.” The next door neighbors in this case have been engaged in a cycle of harassment and litigation for nearly 15 years. The latest bout was mediated to settlement, but one of the neighbors who agreed to the short-form settlement terms refused to sign the finalized longer-form settlement. The other neighbors brought a motion to enforce the short-form settlement agreement and for sanctions. The trial court granted both motions, and the first neighbor appeals. We construe the appeal as a petition for a writ of mandate, and deny the petition, thereby affirming the trial court’s grant of other motions.
