Re: false statements by the mover of a suit

No.

False statement standing alone are not grounds for a dismissal. Each statement must be viewed in its factual and legal context. That you view something is not true is a basis for consulting an attorney to see if the complaint either states or fails to state a cause of action. Or if you can move for a motion for summary judgment.

I hope that you do have an attorney, and I hope that you have spoken with your attorney about what is on yor mind.

If you have any questions, you can contact me.
