I have a law suit against a corporation and two people, Now I see one person in the case is not responsible for the charge, and I want to drop him off the case. Could you please instruct me how to do that.
A: This is probably not a decision that you should make without an attorney. As a practical matter, you would file a notice of dismissal as to the party who is to be dismissed. However, whether to do it–and what rights to preserve against that party in the future if things change–are issues you should discuss with someone who understands legal procedure. You might even be mistaken as to whether a particular party is “responsible” or not. Sometimes there is legal responsibility for reasons that are not clear to a non-lawyer.
