Re: Intent to Defraud?

Limine means limit. It is the limitation of proposed evidence prior to trial which would not be admissible at trial. Such judgments are exactly why judges are there.

The fact that you do not agree is not legally significant.

Your remedy is to appeal an adverse judgment at which time the reviewing court will consider the propriety of the granting of the Motion in Limine.

There is no way you can prevent this in the future. It is part of the trial process.

Where is your lawyer when you have these questions?
