Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California
Slander, invasion of privacy and defamation of character
What can I do to sue my landlord, some of my neighbors from my street, and the landlord's attorney?
Should I sue them all at once or I should sue them separately?
I filled for a TRO against my landlord and as a response, the attorney for the landlord brought forward tainted witnesses which gave bogus sworn affidavits to the court. They lied about me and I have proof of that. Even the attorney committed perjury on his sworn declaration given to the court and I can prove that as well.
I asked the district attorney to bring perjury charges against all of them but they refused because they said that the judge would have to turn them over for prosecution. Well the judge in the TRO case has not even considered my paper filled with the court in which I brought proof of their perjury and in which I asked the court to impeach all the sworn declarations and witnesses. The attorney for the landlord asked the judge to strike the whole paper because he was not timely served with it. I did serve him as timely as he has served me with his answer. He served me on Monday and the hearing was Thursday. I served him on Wednesday and the hearing was Monday. The judge did strike all my paper. Please help me!

Re: Slander, invasion of privacy and defamation of character
Statements made in the course of litigation are privileged and cannot support a judgment for defamation.
Your subject line refers to invasion of privacy, but your question does not say how you feel your privacy was invaded. If it was invaded by statements made in the course of litigation, however, the same privilege would probably apply.
I'm sorry I can't be more encouraging.
