powerless in this matter this case is about the collection of a judgment more specifically the over collection of a judgment in the application or lack thereof of the collateral source rule what happened in this case was there was a judgment entered after the judgment was entered in which the trial court found that method is by way of the president had directed work that had been done on this one that was not paid for by sued or by methodist record in that settlement agreement says that for the sum of four hundred thousand dollars method through easy with some other claim a lot of the settlement agreement in the rather lengthy document as i'm sure you've seen and suddenly agreement is very specific about what that four hundred thousand dollars before the settlement agreement says it was paid for the reduction of the amounts that were owed on the judgments that were entered by the trial is specifically states that the allocations are between these two judgments and specifically states the amount that is left over to be paid by the one remaining defendant which is my client's suit family limited partnership it was between the two judges one of them they allocated somewhere around one hundred and sixty six thousand then the remainder of the four hundred thousand supply and the other judgment so it's difficult to calculate at this point given the payments that were made in the statutory interest how much and given fans actually owed but what was clearly some of the agreement is that they agreed the four hundred thousand dollars was applying reduce those amounts that were owed to reduce what pseudo and they even put in there that these separately written contract judgments were reduced by the four hundred thousand dollars pain so the question is how did we get to this point where we're now arguing to that four hundred thousand dollars actually reduce the judgment or not because as i put it my briefing there were numerous scraps of dozens of forty cents they filed an affidavit from their attorney that said the same thing they drafted an order of the trial entered that said that the judgments were nearly fully satisfied other than that eight hundred and seventy seven  dollars out obama also said that they would go and collect that amount from a letter of clark credit and my clients have posted and that once they collected that amount they would file a notice of satisfaction of judgments that they collected everything that they owe that didn't happen with and collected the remaining amount on the letter of credit one hundred and ninety six thousand dollars claiming that the judges were unsatisfied by four hundred and sixty six thousand dollars if you ask me where that four hundred and sixty six thousand dollars are figure came from i can't tell  have no idea i know that they're claiming the four hundred thousand dollars settlement and with that they did not satisfy the judgment where the other sixty six thousand came from i don't know so the issue for this court today is at the time  read out obama's filings if you read their feet petition their fee affidavit the order of the trial or the statements made by obama's counsel open corps all of them said we collected four hundred thousand dollars from suddenly agree with the methodist a ttorneys title that reduce what was owed on the judgments and the remaining amount by suit they collected it and then they signed it anyway and in fact if you read the settlement agreement it specifically says out a bond will  entire balance of the judgment and then to sign the agreement says i don't buy it won't satisfy any access on the judgment that's an agreement not to steal something there's no such thing as access on a judgment you get a one million dollars judgment you  to collect the one million dollars plus the interest you don't get to collect one million two hundred thousand dollars in collect two hundred thousand dollars in excess because that's not what are the will says the minutes you get to be made whole and that's it so this agreement is essentially in a legal void they could go after sued to get their money and instead they chose to settle to avoid that foreclosure and paid four hundred thousand dollars to do so and under the mechanically foreclosure laws when a judicial foreclosure sale happens the statute says argues that they are suddenly to avoid that outcome was not satisfaction but a collateral source how can that be possible how can they settle when that would have been satisfaction and then turn around and say it's not satisfaction i don't know that you can't have a mechanic's lease as a written contract when there's not but the trial court ruled the other way and now methodist wants to change the position in this case and say that well now you will absolve money even though they never filed anything at that for the reason methodists is on the hook is because the trial or found they were methodist never filed anything against suit to say no no you should have to pay and the trucker said a foreclosure judgment against the subsequent purchaser is just as good as it's against the they can't suddenly come in here and say well you know what no we don't agree with that we think our settlement you should have to pay for and what actually happened is after this money was taken the other companion case to the originals of two thousand and seventeen there was a case you don't get to do that and that's really the issue is that methodist not avail itself of the opportunity that it had to file those power plays on fortunately this is a fortune is was pursued as we argue the same thing was that we lost and  judgment and then they try to assign it e g so that in a roundabout manner if you can try to enforce and contribution on the suit to pay for this is something they can't do there are multiple cases one of which i of the work before it got four hundred thousand dollars of it from a t g enough to just take out the restroom suit and that's it that's over at that point there is no more judgment the judgment is satisfied out of bars no more statute that's part of the code of civil procedure does it say well it only applies to the money judgments against towards it's money judgments again of any appeal in this case they argue the issue of whether all b c i'm money judgments are paid or fully satisfied they were is the judicial sale statute it says when you sell a piece of property the funds go to pay off the amount that's owed that's what happens in a mechanic's lien the mechanic says i know all this money and in this have gone to pay off the work that out on bond did and now they're going to stand here and tell you that oh no that was a collateral source we didn't do anything will i deserve council say they never said anything that their payment was going to how can you do that it gets worse if you keep reading because then it says to the extent applicable that this suit contract just reads the one they were just saying were solely responsible for consistent with the allocation of the payment of the judgments the parties here court repeatedly that this is not the judge it was reduced and now they're in here saying it didn't really do that that we stay still owed all this money they can't do that they can't do when you can't go to one court room and say that they got paid by the method is to reduce the judge of his class resource they would say why would methods pay police judgement interest if it was a collateral source they would so here we are having auto bomb and a doctor who they made it of the mechanically statues for they can sue the subsequent purchaser only and foreclose and methodist building they get the entirety of the money that they were owed and now they're going to say well we're not really a treasure debtor of course they are your coda it's like any other case auto accident which are multiple defendants the plaintiff only gets one recover they don't get to get extra money if there was never a assignment to eighty dollars gee i don't bank was done collecting any money they admitted they got all of their money e
