Film Packages, Inc. v. Brandywine Film Productions, Ltd

In Film Packages, Inc. v. Brandywine Film Productions, Ltd. (1987) 193 Cal.App.3d 824, the Court of Appeal held that the trial court did not err in granting the plaintiff's renewed motion for a right to attach order, in light of depositions taken after the previous attachment hearings, since the trial court found that the depositions "shed new light on the case." (Id. at p. 829.) The appellate court declined to find that the information uncovered in these depositions could have been obtained earlier, because there is often no reasonable opportunity in attachment proceedings to undertake the meaningful discovery that can occur later. (Id. at pp. 829-830.)
