First District, Division 5 Reverses Fee Award Based on Woodland Park Decision.
In our February 2, 2010 post on Woodland Park Management, LLC v. City of East Palo Alto Rent Stabilization Bd., 181 Cal.App.4th 915 (2010), we reviewed a decision reversing a fee award against the City of East Palo Alto under the Rent Stabilization and Eviction for Good Cause Ordinance (RSO).
The City apparently appealed another adverse fee award of $472,061.90 based upon certain provisions of the RSO. The First District, Division 5, in Page Mill Management, LLC v. City of East Palo Alto, Case No. A125659 (1st Dist., Div. 5 Feb. 26, 2010) (unpublished), reversed in a memorandum opinion for the same reasons stated in Woodland Park.
