Navigating Complexities and Delivering Victory in a High-Stakes
Trial
NEWPORT
BEACH, Calif., May 16, 2024
/PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- David Sugden, trial specialist and
shareholder at Call & Jensen, obtained a $6.7 million verdict for Ten-X, in a high-profile
case involving breach of contract and fraud.
The case centered around Ten-X, an online platform that
facilitates commercial property auctions. The defendant, Lemmings
LLC, owned a property in Houston,
Texas, and agreed to an auction reserve price of
$1.5 million. In other words, once
the bids met or exceeded $1.5
million, Lemmings was obligated to sell the property to the
winning bidder. The online auction was an ostensible success, with
a $2.55 million winning bid. Shortly
after the auction, however, the winning bidder disappeared. An
investigation to ascertain the winning bidder's whereabouts
uncovered that the bidder was the actual seller. Specifically, the
defendant created a fake bidder profile with fictitious bank
documents and improperly participated in (and ultimately won) the
auction.
Sugden, along with co-counsel Aaron
Renfro and Lisa Sandoval,
also of Call & Jensen, navigated the complexities of the trial,
presenting compelling evidence of the defendant's misdeeds and
effectively cross-examining the defendant to uncover the
defendant's motive and execution of its scheme.
"Ten-X takes its reputation as an ethical and trustworthy
business seriously," Sugden remarked. "The jury was able to, not
only right the wrong committed against Ten-X, but to also ensure
the defendant is accountable for its behavior."
The jury unanimously ruled in favor of Ten-X, awarding a
substantial jury reward that reflects the severity of the
defendant's misconduct and the damages incurred by Ten-X as a
result. "It's an honor to have represented Ten-X in this important
case," Sugden commented. "This victory not only vindicates Ten-X's
rights, it also underscores the importance of honesty and
accountability in business."
This successful outcome further solidifies Sugden's reputation
as a leading trial specialist. Sugden continues to be sought after
by clients seeking exceptional trial representation.
