Armbar Studios (“Armbar”) is a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu (BJJ) studio, called a “dojo,” in Los Angeles owned by former UFC middleweight champion Patrick “The Guillotine” Ferrigno. The dojo prides itself on “old-school pressure and discipline.” On a Friday afternoon, Armbar hosts “Open Mat Fridays.” The event is popular amongst local BJJ enthusiasts. In attendance are Diego, a white belt in his second week of training, Marcus, a competitive purple belt known for aggressive “rolling,” Tanya, a visiting black belt from another academy, and Eddie, Armbar’s equipment manager. Marcus asks Diego to roll. Before beginning, Marcus smirks and says “hope you signed your waiver. I don’t go easy.” During the roll, Marcus applies a “kimura lock.” Unable to break from the hold, Diego yells “give!” However, Marcus holds the lock for an additional three seconds, saying “learn to tap out earlier.” Diego’s shoulder dislocates and he screams in pain. After Marcus releases the hold, Diego angrily stands up and pushes Marcus in the chest, yelling “you did that on purpose!” Marcus clenches his fist and takes a step forward. Diego flinches and falls backward over a training dummy, hitting his head. Patrick, furious at the disruption, orders both students into his office. Once inside, he closes the door and stands in front of it, blocking the exit. He yells “no one leaves until I’m done talking.” Diego asks to leave because he feels nauseous. Patrick responds “sit down. You’ll leave when I say.” Diego remains inside for 30 minutes. Diego leaves his $250 limited-edition competition Ju Jitsu uniform, called a gi, in the locker room. Marcus, still angry, takes it and tosses it into a dumpster outside “as a joke.” It rains that night. The gi is ruined. When confronted, Marcus laughs and says “relax. It’s just a uniform.” Analyze all potential tort claims.

Manuel Lawrence (Plaintiff) obtained from Chicago Title Insurance Company (Defendant) a policy of title insurance insuring his interest in real property as holder of a second deed of trust dated September 1, 2020, securing a loan obligation in the amount of $72,000. When Plaintiff discovered his deed of trust was in third position, he contended Chicago Title was liable not only for the full amount of the loan balance pursuant to the terms of the policy, but in addition, for damages for negligence. Defendant issued a “Preliminary Report” on the property. The preliminary report erroneously did not reflect a deed of trust encumbering the property in favor of Imperial Savings and Loan Association (Imperial deed of trust) securing the amount of $95,000. When the loan transaction closed, Defendant issued Plaintiff its standard form California Land Title Association lender’s policy which insured their deed of trust as a second deed of trust in the amount of $72,000, subject only to a deed of trust in favor of Security Financial Services which held the first deed of trust secured by the subject property. In 2022, the borrower defaulted under Plaintiff’s deed of trust and the trustee initiated foreclosure proceedings. During the course of the foreclosure, the parties discovered the senior Imperial deed of trust, which placed Plaintiff’s deed of trust in third, and not second, position. This discovery was a contingency insured against under the policy. Defendant advanced $5,094.11 to cure a default under the Imperial deed of trust to avoid further impairment of Plaintiff’s security interest. At the trustee’s sale in February 2023, Plaintiff acquired the property trustee’s deed pursuant to a credit bid in the amount of $109,136.84, constituting the original principal of $72,000, accrued interest, late fees and other charges. Following the trustee’s sale, Plaintiff resold the property for approximately $225,000. After paying the demands of Imperial Savings and Security Financial Services (the holders of the two senior trust deeds), and various other expenses and taxes, Plaintiff realized approximately $75,331.44 from the resale. Defendant then paid to Plaintiff the additional sum of $30,516.39. By virtue of the $75,331.44 net sale proceeds, in addition to the $30,516.39 sum paid directly to Defendant to Plaintiff and the earlier $5,094.11 advance, Plaintiff received the full principal balance, interest and all associated expenses on their $72,000 loan. Plaintiff sued Defendant and sought much more than repayment of the full loan balance. Plaintiff alleged Defendant owed him a duty to search diligently the title records in preparing and issuing the policy based upon the report and breached that duty, thereby causing Plaintiff damage in an amount in excess of $112,349.80. That figure represents the additional sale proceeds which Plaintiff would have realized on the resale of the property if the property had not been encumbered by the Imperial deed of trust. Plaintiff testified that he would not have entered into the loan transaction if he had been aware of the Imperial deed of trust. At trial, Defendant contended that (1) as a matter of law, Plaintiff’s recovery under the policy was limited to the amount of the loan balance, which he had received in full; and (2) as a matter of law, Plaintiff was fully compensated by Defendant per the terms of the Title Policy and could not recover additional damages. Please discuss the facts and applicable law and the expected outcome at trial.
