Q: If given a UD Feb 1st, and i already responded to it. However I've called there is still no court date. Can I sue them?
Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress: extreme and outrageous conduct by the defendant with the intention of causing, or reckless disregard of the probability of causing, emotional distress; (2) the plaintiff’s suffering severe or extreme emotional distress; and (3) actual and proximate causation of the emotional distress by the defendant’s outrageous conduct.
A: You need to find out why there has been no court date set for your unlawful detainer. perhaps the party filing the UD has postponed the hearing date. If so, you can file your own claim against the plaintiff in the same Court. IT's called "defendant's claim." Again, timing is everything. Be sure that there is time to file your claim.

A:
more info needed.
there can be several reasons as to why there is no court date............it is up to the other side to pursue this.
maybe you don't want to upset the apple cart??
anyone can sue for anything........the issue is whether you would prevail and if so for how much and then whether you could collect on a judgment......and of course whether it would be worth it for you to spend your money on a lawyer charging you on an hourly.
