5 2 2 Civil Barratry — counterclaim based on assigned claims Kassab counterclaim Counterclaim based on 150 express assignments of barratry claims from Pohl's former clients who were allegedly illegally solicited. Because barratry is not legal malpractice (per Pohl's judicial admission), the discovery rule does not apply and assignment is permitted under Texas law.
6 2 2 Compulsory Counterclaim Timeliness — Tex. Civ. Prac. & Rem. Code § 16.069 Kassab counterclaim Counterclaims arising from same transaction or occurrence may be filed even if independently barred by limitations, if filed within 30 days of answer deadline.
