Document:
Ravi Sudan is an experienced attorney for 33 years (more than 24 years in California) whose astute factual and legal analysis has led to numerous successful pre-trial motion and appellate results. He has a diverse transactional, litigation, and appellate practice, covering Personal Injury, Business Torts and Public Entity defense, Insurance Coverage and Bad Faith, Contract and Business Disputes, Trade Secrets, and Business Transactions.
He has had a number of cases published, including: Sole Energy Co. v. Hodges (2005) 128 Cal. App. 4th 199, in which a $27 million default judgment was reversed, and the case was remanded to the trial court for further proceedings. After the remand, plaintiffs claimed damages in excess of $112 million. The trial court granted summary judgment in favor of defendants. The court of appeal affirmed (2008 Cal. App. Unpub. LEXIS 9798).
In Bias v. Wright (2002) 103 Cal. App. 4th 811, Mr. Sudan argued that defendant's oral acceptance of the Code of Civil procedure section 998 offer was sufficient to form a settlement agreement because the offer did not specify a mode of communicating acceptance. Plaintiff created an unnecessary factual dispute by denying that defendant's acceptance was communicated orally. Under the existing law, a party, who made a section 998 offer could easily deny receiving an oral communication of its acceptance and defeat the legislative purpose underlying section 998. The court urged the legislature to revise Code of Civil Procedure section 998 to expressly require that acceptance and proof of acceptance of a section 998 offer must be in writing. The court suggested that parties who serve offers pursuant to section 998, state in the offers that acceptances must be in writing. In 2005, the legislature amended subdivision(b) of section 998 to incorporate the court's recommendation.
