Regency Centers v. Civic PartnersVistaVillage
Defendant Civic Partners Vista Village I, LLC (Civic), which is owned by defendant Steven P. Semingson[1] and his wife, obtained rights from the City of Vista to develop a shopping center (the project). Civic encountered several setbacks in developing the shopping center, including a lack of funding and tenant commitments.
The judgment is reversed as to the imposition of liability on defendants on RCLPs promissory fraud claim and as to the punitive damages award. On remand, the trial court is directed to enter judgment in favor of defendants on RCLPs promissory fraud claim and strike the punitive damages award accordingly. The judgment is otherwise affirmed. In the interests of justice, because each party prevailed in part, no party shall recover costs on appeal.
