Congratulations to Partner Lauren Lopez who obtained a complete dismissal of all claims against a client! This was a premises liability case in Dallas County, and there was conflicting case law allowing the Judge to rule either way. There was a policy limits demand prior to mediation. Instead of settling, Lauren argued her Motion and the Plaintiff’s claims against the client were dismissed with prejudice.

In granting Cox PLLCs clients’ motion for summary judgment, the federal court recognized that restitutio in integrum, a maxim that goes back to 1882 in the United Supreme Court opinion, The Potomac, remains alive and well today in the Fifth Circuit.
