green
1 sentence2022In response to the plaintiff’s argument that defendants’ failure to appear at a hearing on a motion to enlarge the time to file the complaint waived their right to seek dismissal of the action, the court concluded that waiver was inapplicable: “Because there was no action pending and the statutes define the obligations of the defendants when an action is pending, there was no obligation to raise the defense at the time plaintiffs brought their motion for enlargement of time, and thus no waiver.” Id. at 429-30 . ¶18 Similarly, in Hester, the question was also whether the plaintiff commenced a p | 1 | 2022–2022 |
