Diamond One Construction v. Zoological Society of
This case involves a payment dispute between Zoological Society of San Diego (the San Diego Zoo or the Zoo) and one of its general contractors, Diamond One Construction, Inc. (Diamond One) relating to the construction of a 4-D theater attraction on the Zoo's grounds, the Rio Rainforest Adventure (Rio). A jury awarded Diamond One approximately $223,000 and $371,000 in economic and punitive damages, respectively. The jury rejected the Zoo's defenses and cross-claims, which were premised on an assertion that Diamond One contracted to construct Rio for an amount not-to-exceed $500,000.
