3664 Although an attorney does not owe a duty to the client's adversary, if the attorney attempts to act as a neutral mediator in a dispute between the client and the client's adversary the attorney, as mediator, owes a duty of reasonable care to all parties; in a complaint for misrepresentation, damages need not be pleaded as a dollar amount, unless plaintiff seeks a default judgment.CitationFURIA v HELM (Non Neutral Mediator) 111 CA4 945 [See: CCP 425.10; Choy v Redland 103 CA4 789, T/AT 12/02; Janssen v Luu 57 CA4 272, T/AT 9/97; Lim v TV Corp 99 CA4 684, T/AT 8/02]
