quote:

Clark ruled that Spinosa has to restore the families’ access to “a” servitude that runs through vacant lot 38 in Rouzan by January. But the judge did not order the developer to restore the original servitude the families used to access Glasgow Avenue, which would have required tearing down six new houses in the TND.

quote:

Clark’s ruling also requires Spinosa to pay the families $96,000 in damages, which is far less than she could have ordered. It is also less than he would have likely had to pay had he settled the suit with the families outside of court.


Rouzan ruling a victory for Spinosa but the legal battle continues

Reasonable IMO.

I said this yesterday. The judge ruled in Spinosa's favor before. Appeals overturned it and then told the original judge to make a ruling on the payment. Of course the original judge that doesn't think he's at fault is going to fine him pennies on the dollar

This was a given from the onset. As always in these suits, the real winners are the lawyers. Could this result not have been accomplished in mediation with way less attorneys' fees (though perhaps not a viable option due to the reputation of the defendant)? Did these plaintiffs really think they were going to have 6 houses torn down to maintain the width of their ROW?

$96k, 50% to attorneys, leaves a little more than $47k to the family. How fast will they burn through <$50k?
