City of Anaheim v. Angels Baseball, L.P.
Plaintiff City of Anaheim (Anaheim) and Disney Baseball Enterprises, Inc. (Disney), entered into a stadium lease agreement in connection with Disneys purchase of the California Angels major league baseball team. Section 11(f) of the lease required Disney to change the team name to include the name Anaheim therein. Shortly after executing the lease, Disney renamed the team the Anaheim Angels. Turning to ABLPs appeal, we conclude the trial court did not abuse its discretion in declining to apply the judicial estoppel doctrine, and that substantial evidence supports its finding the parties did not intend the leases indemnification provision to cover prevailing party attorney fees. Accordingly, Court affirm the judgment and the trial court order denying ABLP attorney fees.
