HLC Properties v. MCA Records
Plaintiffs, HLC Properties, Ltd. (HLC Properties) and Thomas E. OSullivan, as trustee for the Wilma Wyatt Crosby Trust (the trust), appeal from a judgment in their favor against defendants: MCA Records, Inc. (MCA); GRP Records, Inc.; UMG Recordings, Inc.; MCA, Inc.; and Universal Studios, Inc. Plaintiffs contend: they were denied their right to a jury trial; the summary adjudication motions were improperly granted; and they were the prevailing parties and, as such, were entitled to their costs. Court conclude: the judgment must be set aside because plaintiffs were denied their right to a jury trial; the orders granting the summary adjudication motions may not be set aside; and the cost issue is now moot.
