Price v. Series 1 - Virage Master LP (Per Curiam)
Annotate this Case
The Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the court of appeals affirming the judgment of the district court denying Borrower's motion for a new trial in this appeal arising from a suit on a note and guaranty after Borrower allegedly defaulted on a loan, holding that Borrower was entitled to a new trial.
After Lender moved for summary judgment and set the motion for an oral hearing the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in the hearing the hearing being canceled. The trial court unilaterally moved the hearing to its submission docket and, without further notice, went forward on the date of the originally scheduled oral hearing. The trial court granted summary judgment to Lender. Borrower moved for a new trial on the grounds that he had not received an amended notice of the hearing date after the original hearing was canceled. The trial court denied the motion, and the court of appeals affirmed. The Supreme Court reversed, holding that because Borrower did not receive the adequate notice as required the trial court erred in granting summary judgment and in refusing to grant a new trial upon Borrower's request.
