Police Officers' Lawsuit against the City of San Diego for Breach of Contract, Fiduciary Duty and Trust in Underfunding Its Pension Moves Closer to T
IRVINE, Calif. (BusinessWire EON) June 13, 2007 --
Today's ruling by the court addressed four motions to dismiss made by the various defendants. The four motions in turn addressed only ten of the 17 claims made by over 1,600 police officers against the City and various individual defendants. Judge Huff dismissed some of the officers' claims in their entirety, dismissed other claims as to certain defendants and left other claims whole. The central claims of the case: breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, breach of trust, and conversion, all remain and are expected to go to trial later this year. Additionally, the court denied City Attorney Michael Aguirre's motion to be dismissed from the conspiracy and other claims. The court also denied Mr. Aguirre's claim of legislative immunity.
Gregory G. Petersen, Chair of the Complex Litigation Group at JDTPP, stated, "Judge Huff's ruling today is consistent with our expectations and her ruling last month in a related case, SDPOA v. Aguirre, City of San Diego, et al., which has similar claims. When initially reviewing the Aaron and SDPOA cases in August of 2005, we looked at all possible avenues of relief and developed and pursued an aggressive list of remedies. The court, through its ruling today and in the recent past, has worked to narrow the focus of the case to the central issues and participants. While we feel we have strong support for all of our original claims, including fraud as to the named parties, we respect the court's decision and are confident about presenting the officers' case to a jury with the central and critical claims that remain. The individuals and claims that were dismissed today are not essential to the officers' claims of breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, breach of trust, conspiracy and conversion committed by the City and its leaders in the billion dollar underfunding of the City Employee Retirement System."
