Brown & Charbonneau Wins Multi-Million Dollar Contract Dispute in South Orange County Water & Sewage Trial and obtains permanent injunction

Irvine Business Trial Lawyer Gregory G. Brown, of Brown & Charbonneau, LLP obtained a resounding victory in his clients’ favor in the first phase of a multi-million dollar dispute over the payment for upkeep of a wastewater treatment plant in South Orange County.  “This is a huge victory for Joint Powers Authorities in California who rely upon their partners to uphold their contractual commitments and agreements”, says Brown.  Brown’s clients are Plaintiffs South Orange County Water Authority (SOCWA), City of Laguna Beach, South Coast Water District, and the Emerald Bay Service District. This comes after two and ½ years of Moulton Niguel Water District (MNWD) not it had originally anticipated the use of the plant, no need ever arose, therefore they no longer required that which was agreed upon in PC 15 agreement. This forced the plaintiffs to hire legal counsel when MNWD actions began to threaten the health and safety of the facility.

The ruling and subsequent settlement allows those involved The Coastal Treatment Plant (see plaintiffs above) to continue paying the same amount of money agreed upon in the contract since the plant was built in early 1980s. Along with ensuring the protection of South Oranges County’s environment, water, and beaches.
