Extreme Measures
Companies practice CYA because not doing so opens them up to frivolous litigation. What about our personal responsibility?
The Effect of Litigation on the Mobile Home Park Business
One of the biggest news stories emerging from the embattled mobile home manufacturing and sales side of the industry is the current and proposed litigation concerning formaldehyde contamination in mobile homes. As you may or may not be aware, formaldehyde is used in the creation of the products that are used to build a mobile home, such as wood products, I believe.

But my question is what the worst-case scenario might be from litigation regarding formaldehyde, as it affects mobile home park ownership and operations.
Defeating a Motion to Dismiss a Franchise Case in Federal Court
A motion to dismiss a complaint in federal court is a relatively inexpensive method to terminate litigation against a defendant.

If the defendant loses his motion to dismiss the complaint, he has lost virtually nothing, while the loss of the motion by the plaintiff is devastating. While a motion to dismiss the case can be appealed, the better course of action is to prevail at the district court level. Therefore, a plaintiff must make all possible efforts to defeat this motion.

It is crucial to preserve the original footage’s multiple views of the incident in case of necessary forensic examination. If I can prove scientifically that the original footage-needed to view the facts as they originally occurred-has been intentionally deleted, then I have served a purpose in that litigation.
