T M M Inc (TMMI)

I asked an attorney friend to put this explain this court finding and here is his reply:

"plaintiff in this case (the party bringing the suit) filed a motion with the court asking for the court’s permission to file a “third” amended complaint (to change the suit in some way for a third time). Most jurisdictions have rules about this which, generally speaking, require a party to obtain the court’s permission for such a move depending on the circumstances. This court is granting the motion thereby allowing the plaintiff to amend his/her/it’s complaint for a third time apparently to add a new party. The grant is “in part” because the court has placed a limitation on it. That limitation appears to be that the new defendant (HP) can be added but only as a “nominal” defendant. This means that the court believes that HP has no liability to anyone in the suit, however, her/his/it’s presence is necessary so that the suit can proceed."

With that being said I would only expect HP to be added if they can help TMMI's case. Don't see how this helps our friends.
