Judge Golden highlighted the importance of accurately naming parties in eviction cases, stressing that improper naming leads to case dismissals. "When the testimony comes out, it is clear that the petitioner knows this person, knows their name, or could easily figure out the name, and I have to dismiss the case or deny the inquest." This reveals a significant challenge in managing landlord-tenant disputes, especially in a virtual court environment.
The judge emphasized that landlords must demonstrate due diligence in identifying tenants, stating, "You have to use due diligence in figuring out the person's name. It can't just be, 'Oh, I know there are other people, I'm just going to add John and Jane Doe.'" This indicates a need for thoroughness in legal practices to uphold court requirements.
