Wang v. Peletta (2005) 112 Cal.App.5th478
Homeowners built a retaining wall on their property without first obtaining a permit or a survey. Their neighbor later learned that the wall encroached on the neighbor’s property and the county ordered it abated. After deliberating less than 90 minutes, a Los Angeles jury rendered a complete defense verdict for First American Title Insurance Co. in a major class action lawsuit. The verdict came after a month-long trial in which First American was represented by Los Angeles commercial litigators with Dentons, a global law firm.
