Matter Goes On Between Landlord And Tenant, Although Tenant Prevailed, Based On A Partial Appellate Reversal.
In Wilshire West Medical Tower, LLC v. Karimi, Case Nos. B347841 et al. (2d Dist., Div. 1 Sept. 30, 2026) (unpublished), tenants defensed a landlord and property manager, even though the appellate court reversed on some grounds. The lower court denied attorney’s fees against landlord and property manager, but it denied property manager’s request for dismissed tort claims. That was affirmed on appeal because property manager was not a “party” under the lease, such that it faced no fee exposure as a nonsignatory.
