Andros v. Simon Property Group
Plaintiff Kristen Andros was employed by defendant The Mills Corporation (Mills) as a vice‑president of leasing when, in 2007, defendant Simon Property Group, Inc. (Simon), acquired Mills in a joint venture with Farallon Capital Management. Simon thereafter hired Andros as a vice‑president of leasing in its Mills division. When Simon faced financial difficulties in 2008, Andros was selected for layoff. Andros sued Mills and Simon[1] for, inter alia, breach of contract, based on allegations Andros was not paid certain commissions and severance. Following a bench trial, the trial court entered judgment in favor of defendants and granted their postjudgment motion for prevailing party attorney fees. Andros appealed from the judgment and the postjudgment order awarding attorney fees, and we have consolidated Andros’s appeals.
