Dean Rocco (Partner-Los Angeles, CA) and John Immordino (Of Council-Los Angeles, CA), with the able assistance of paralegals Barry Lipsky and Joyce Marilyn, secured a defense verdict on behalf of two prominent ski resorts in Los Angeles County Superior Court. The case arose from an advertising services agreement the advertising agency claimed our clients breached by terminating it without sufficient cause or notice per contract terms. Our clients argued they terminated the agreement with good cause and sufficient notice, and that they could and would have terminated the agreement for other breaches discovered during the litigation. Dean and John argued the plaintiff should not be awarded damages given the evidence presented in the case and the breaches discovered during litigation. The jury found there was a breach of the contract, but not of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and also that plaintiff failed to establish damages. The net effect was a defense verdict for our client.
