Stipulation to all defendant in intervention

We have spent over 2 years in court and now the opposing attorney just realized his client the Corp. is suspend (2006). Why should we grant this? If we don't wouldn't we win by default?

Re: Stipulation to all defendant in intervention

Unless you're representing yourself, this is really something you need to discuss with your attorney. There are probably good reasons to agree to the stipulation as well as refuse it. Your counsel, who's there in the middle of this with you, will be in the best position to advise.

As a general rule, the court will allow a "reasonable" amount of time for the corporation to cure the suspension. Whether or not the suspended corporation can cure within the time the court gives will be a critical factor. Your attorney will have a better handle on this factor, and how it will impact your case. Talk with him or her and don't be shy about asking questions.

Best Of Luck,

I'm not clear what you're being asked to "grant." Are you being asked to grant an intervention by a new party?
