Regatta Bay, LLC (Regatta Bay), John Dell Wright and Philip Lee Keesling appeal a $5,909,660 judgment entered against them after a jury trial on Coronado City View, LLC’s (CCV) complaint for negligent and intentional misrepresentation and related counts. Defendants challenge the sufficiency of the evidence to support the jury’s finding that their conduct caused CCV to incur damages related to delay in the construction of its development project. Wright and Keesling also contend they have no personal liability for the conduct of Regatta Bay, a limited liability company.
Regatta Bay and CCV entered into an agreement under which Regatta Bay would spearhead the conversion of overhead utilities in the alley between their development projects to underground utilities. The agreement did not specify any time within which the conversion would be completed. The agreement did specify that an electrical transformer for use by both projects would be placed on one of the lots Regatta Bay had purchased for its project (lot 8).
