Ayala Obtains Emergency Ruling Halting Sale of $5 Million Land in Palm Beach County

Ayala is happy to share that it has obtained an emergency order halting the sale of its client’s 10-acre land valued at around $5 million.

The ruling comes on the heels of Ayala’s motion to quash service of process in the case. Service of process is the formal notification to a defendant or respondent in a lawsuit, ensuring they receive proper notice of the case and have a chance to respond, thus guaranteeing due process.

In this case regarding the land, Ayala argued that its client was not properly served. Ayala’s motion presented evidence that the process server affidavit contained inherent contradictions that make it virtually impossible that its client had been personally served with the lawsuit.

As stated by Attorney Eduardo A. Ayala, who argued the motion: “We are happy that the judge put a hold on the plaintiff’s ability to sell the land. I received a text from the client, literally, two days before the sale was going to happen. We filed an emergency motion and, fortunately, were able to obtain a hearing very soon thereafter. We will now try to negotiate an amicable resolution to this impasse with the plaintiff, and hopefully, sort it all out. Our goal is always to provide solutions to problems, not to litigate per se.”
