In a personal injury case, in what circumstances will the trial court consider arguments in a reply brief?
California, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Ahn v. Yao, B223489 (Cal. App. 2012):
9. In their reply brief, defendants argue that the trial court erred by giving the jury a negligence per se instruction and instructing the jury in accordance with Business and Professions Code section 11018.2 and Civil Code section 1940.2, in addition to the erroneous instruction on Government Code section 66459. It is well-established that we do not consider arguments first raised in a reply brief. (Reichardt v. Hoffman (1997) 52 Cal.App.4th 754, 764.)
