Goldstein v. Beck
Cynthia Beck appeals a judgment in favor of the Goldsteins in their action arising out of a boundary dispute. The parties initially settled their dispute at mediation, but immediately had difficulties implementing the mediation agreement. After several failed attempts to resolve those difficulties, the parties tried the case; the jury awarded the Goldsteins $6 million in compensatory and punitive damages. On appeal, Beck contends the mediation settlement agreement is unenforceable and she is not liable for breach; the Goldsteins nuisance claims fail because they are premised on that breach; and even if we affirm her liability, the damage awards must be reversed.
