Re: discontinue an action
How long have you lived in Canada? Certainly an attorney may appear on your behalf and make the appropriate motions if venue needs to be changed. Contact me directly.
Re: discontinue an action
you are dealing with a jurisdictional issue and the various outcomes depend on a variety of facts. I would suggest you hire a lawyer in San Diego. They will be ablr to advise you about the various jurisdictional issues and the chances of proceeding in Canada or California.
