Inversiones Papaluchi S.A.S. v. Superior Court
Annotate this CaseSurviving heirs of a helicopter crash filed a wrongful death action against cross-complainants. The Court of Appeal held that Robinson Helicopter's cross-complaint should have been dismissed because service was attempted beyond the three year statutory period, and Robinson Helicopter offered no valid exception to this rule; Honeywell and Rolls-Royce failed to properly serve petitioners pursuant to the Hague Service Convention; and thus petitioners' motion should have been granted and the cross-complaints dismissed. Accordingly, the court issued a peremptory writ of mandate issue directing the respondent court to vacate its August 28, 2017 order denying the motion to quash service of summons and dismissing the cross-complaints, and issue a new order granting the motion to quash and dismissing the cross-complaints without prejudice.
