Plaintiff Owner/Developer’s Award Of $1,673,691 In Damages and Entire Fee Request Upheld On Appeal (CA)

In Millennium-Diamond Road Partners v. Diamond Bar etc., Case No. B285539 (2nd Dist., Div. 3 Sept. 24, 2019) (unpublished), Owner/Developer Millennium sued HOA when it revoked Millennium’s access to undeveloped parcels of land Millennium had purchased for the purpose of developing residential properties.  The undeveloped parcels of land were landlocked and adjacent to a guard-gated residential community known as Diamond Bar Country Estates.
