Weโre proud to share that Amnon Z. Siegel, Jason H. Tokoro, and Steven G. Williamson secured a major victory on behalf of the County of Los Angeles, obtaining a $3.8 million judgment and permanent injunction against the operators of an unpermitted event venue in Santa Clarita after more than five years of litigation. https://tinyurl.com/mjm3v6r5
The court found that defendants unlawfully operated โGardens of Paradiseโ in violation of County zoning, building, and fire codes despite repeated warnings and enforcement efforts. The ruling reinforces the Countyโs authority to enforce land use and public safety regulations and underscores the importance of compliance in protecting local communities.
โThe County is pleased with the result and appreciates the courtโs diligent attention to this important matter,โ said lead counsel Amnon Siegel. โDefendants operated without required permits and flouted important legal requirements and County regulations. This judgment holds defendants accountable and protects the community going forward.โ
Congratulations to the team on this outstanding result!
