The moving defendants sought summary judgment dismissing an action alleging breach of fiduciary duty, negligence, and conspiracy by a lawyer and his firm in relation to prior mortgage enforcement litigation involving the plaintiff’s property.
The court found no credible evidence supporting allegations that the lawyer had an improper relationship with another defendant or intentionally acted against the plaintiff’s interests.
The court also held that the plaintiff provided only assertions rather than cogent evidence capable of supporting the claims and that the action had no reasonable prospect of success.
Additionally, the claims were statute‑barred under the applicable limitation period and were further undermined by delay and laches.
Summary judgment was granted dismissing the action against the moving defendants.
