Does a plaintiff have to affirmatively show error in a Respondent's brief to win by default?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Estacion v. Morgan, G054323 (Cal. App. 2018):
Plaintiffs do not win by default based on defects in the respondent's brief, failure to address an issue, or even had there been no respondent's brief. They still have the burden to affirmatively show error. (Griffin v. The Haunted Hotel, Inc. (2015) 242 Cal.App.4th 490, 505.)
