MINUTE ENTRY
The Court has received and reviewed Third-Party Defendant Kaus’ Motion for Partial
Summary Judgment (Count IV) and Third-Party Plaintiff Volf’s Response thereto. No Reply
was filed.
The Court agrees with the Third-Party Plaintiff Volf that there are disputed issues of fact
as to whether Third-Party Defendant Kaus made any misrepresentations, whether any such
misrepresentations caused Ms. Volf to act in reliance of such representations, and whether Mr.
Kaus was acting as a neighbor versus in a commercial context so as to create a duty. Therefore,
Third-Party Defendant Kaus’ Motion for Partial Summary Judgment is DENIED.

MINUTE ENTRY
The Court held a telephonic hearing on a dispute which arose during the deposition of
Plaintiff’s 30(b)(6) witness Mr. Green. Mr. Shorb sought to question Mr. Green about other
homeowners that may be in violation of certain Association rules or have been granted approval
for construction similar to that of Defendant Volf.
The Court today sustained the Plaintiff’s objections to such questions, pending resolution
of Defendant’s Motion to Compel, which is now being briefed by the parties. If the Court grants
Defendant’s Motion to Compel, the Court will likely allow Defendant to reconvene the
deposition and will likely assess sanctions against Plaintiff, including the cost of the deposition
and attorneys’ fees.

MINUTE ENTRY
This matter is before the Court on Third-Party Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss counts
Two, Three and Four of Defendant/Third-Party Plaintiff’s Volk’s claim. Third-Party Defendants
argued in their Motion that they should be dismissed because Volk failed to plead the elements
necessary to “pierce the corporate veil” of the Association. After Volk filed a response pointing
out that it was not necessary that she pierce the corporate veil to carry her claims, Third-Party
Defendants switched their argument in their Reply and argued that the claims should be
dismissed because Volk failed to establish the requisite elements of the individual causes of
action. Before the Court held oral argument on the Motion, Volk filed a Motion to Strike the
Third-Party Defendants’ Reply on the grounds that it raised new issues not addressed in the
original motion. While the Court agreed that the Reply changed course and made new
arguments, rather than striking the Reply, at oral argument the Court gave both sides the

SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA

Form V000A
Page 2
opportunity to brief the issues raised in the Reply. Now that the parties have submitted their
briefs, the Court rules as follows.
Third-Party Defendants argue that there was no “commercial transaction” at issue that
would support a negligent misrepresentation claim, and that there is no contractual or other
“special” relationship between Volk and Third-Party Defendants that would support any of the
claims. Volk counters that at the pleading stage, a commercial transaction as well as a lack of
good faith can be inferred from the facts alleged in the third-party complaint.
The Court agrees with Volk. Taking the facts pled in the third-party complaint to be true,
there are sufficient facts to support the causes of action alleged. The homeowner-association
relationship pled is sufficient to support a negligent misrepresentation claim. The complaint
alleges a “fiduciary” duty (and breach thereof) sufficient to support any “special” relationship
required to carry the fiduciary duty and breach of implied warranty of good faith and fair dealing
claims. While subsequent discovery may reveal that the actual facts do not support the claims
made in the third-party complaint, and this stage the pleadings alleges facts sufficient to survive
a motion to dismiss.
Therefore, it is ordered DENYING Third-Party Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss Counts
Two, Three and Four of the Third-Party Complaint.
