My question involves business law in the state of: Hey all - the law suit is filed in NY - I live in a different state. It is a business lease - i took over the amended lease from previous owner. We both are liable - due to bad economy the business went down and now there is a law suit for $50K. There is a deposition in NY which I am not able to make it - do not have financials to hire a lawyer. The codefendant - has a lawyer representing him(lease owner). Lease owner did not do anything wrong - due to bad economy I could not sustain the business and pay the rent. If I could not go the deposition - what should I do? If the default judgement is reached - what kind of % would me and lease owner be liable for? Just to get a ball park. What else could I do to notifiy the court and so forth. Any advise would be appreciated...
