Description
This is an appeal from a jury verdict against Attorney Anthony Lucia, the defendant in this malicious prosecution action.*fn1 The underlying civil suit arose out of an incident in which Lucia's client, Richard Bush, struck the side of a swimming pool while diving from a diving board. Lucia filed suit on behalf of Bush against a number of former owners of the premises, including Ronald Smith, on the theory that one of them either created or concealed a dangerous condition on the premises. Four months after Smith had been served, Lucia concluded that Smith probably did not install or modify the diving board while he owned the premises. Lucia offered to dismiss. Smith insisted that Bush pay Smith's attorney's fees. Bush, however, refused to agree to Smith's demand. As a result, Lucia's efforts to voluntarily dismiss Smith from the suit failed.
