CASE NAME: MAKING WAVES VS DIEDE CONSTRUCTION
*HEARING ON MOTION IN RE: BIFURCATE TRIAL
FILED BY: HKIT ARCHITECTS
*TENTATIVE RULING:*
When the convenience of witnesses, the ends of justice, or the economy or efficiency of
handling the litigation would be promoted the Court may order the trial be bifurcated. (Code of Civil
Procedure section 598.) “The major objective of bifurcated trials is to expedite and simplify the
presentation of evidence. (Foreman & Clark v Fallon (1971) 3 Cal.3d 875, 888.) This objective is
thwarted if the proposed separate trial requires to presentation of evidence that would also be
presented at a later state of a bifurcated trial. (Ibid.)
