Plaintiff dies prior to initial hearing

[ADAguy]

A San Diego driveby plaintiff sued my client 10-13-13. Client responded by correcting "technical" violations of parking lot: no tow-away signs, no van-accessible sign, no "Min $250 Fine" (propert built in 1980) but he did have (3) signed accessible spaces with aisles and repainting faded lines. All this being completed prior to todays hearing.

Judge asked if client represented by counsel, client said no. Judge said as a corp he must have counsel (?). Plaintiff's atty (maybe only a paralegal standing in for atty?) informed judge that plaintiff was deceased (is case therefore terminated? or?)

Client attempted to show photos and CASp cerificate but judge wouldn't view them. Held action pending a site walk in April. (Seems unnecessary but what are the rules of engagement, given previous facts?)

Any of this make any "cents", if so does the descendents estate receive the penalities?

Well, I will reply just because all the views with no replies. One, not a attorney, two, not in CA, three, sounds like a fustercluck............

Not an attorney either but you can still pay their fee level

If any estate survivors , I am sure they can sue on behalf of the estate
