Summary Of Caballero V. Dist. Ct., 123 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 34, Jerald Van Rhyn Sep 2007

Summary Of Caballero V. Dist. Ct., 123 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 34, Jerald Van Rhyn

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

Petitioner Caballero didn’t speak English and wanted an interpreter for his small claims proceedings. The justice court denied his request on the ground that he wasn’t disabled under NRS 50.050.2 The Supreme Court held that the justice court had an inherent power to allow a volunteer interpreter or appoint one in the alternative if justice demands it. Further, the Supreme Court held that the justice court had an express power of appointment under JCRCP 43(f).3 The Supreme Court therefore issued a write of mandamus ordering the district court’s order vacated and remanding the issue to justice court for consideration.

Summary Of Callie V. Bowling, 123 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 22, Bret Meich Jun 2007

Summary Of Callie V. Bowling, 123 Nev. Adv. Op. No. 22, Bret Meich

Nevada Supreme Court Summaries

The court considered whether a judgment creditor in a domesticated foreign judgment may add a nonparty to a final judgment, under the alter ego doctrine, simply by moving to amend the judgment. The court held that such a procedure violates the due process rights of the nonparty whom the creditor seeks to add. To observe the requisite attributes of due process, a judgment creditor who wishes to assert an alter ego claim must do so in an independent action against the alleged alter ego.
