Drafting Willful Misconduct Claim

Summary

To draft a supporting claim for willful misconduct in a harassment and illegal eviction case, outline the facts showing the defendants actions, such as violating eviction procedures and breaking locks. Reference specific legal codes like Cal. Civ. Code § 789.3 and § 1714 to highlight legal violations and conscious disregard for the plaintiffs rights. Describe the harm caused, including economic and emotional distress, and demonstrate the defendants intent to inflict harm. Use evidence such as admissions, law enforcement intervention, and witness statements to support your claims. Argue for punitive damages based on malice, referencing Cal. Civ. Code § 3294. Ensure each point is supported by evidence and legal references.
