Starcevic v. Pentech Financial Services, Inc. – Partition Action Case Study
In the legal case of Starcevic v. Pentech Financial Services, Inc., 66 Cal.App.5th 365 (2021), the issue of partition was at the center of the dispute. The plaintiff, Starcevic, owned a 50% interest in a property with Pentech Financial Services, Inc. (Pentech). Starcevic sought to partition the property, which would have resulted in the sale of the property and the division of the proceeds between the two parties. Pentech opposed the partition, arguing that it would be inequitable and that it would cause them to suffer a financial loss. The court ultimately found that partition was not appropriate in this case, as it would be inequitable to Pentech and would not be in the best interests of both parties.
