Visiting Judge Michael Mosman directed Juan C. Tenorio Associates, Consulting Engineers, to pay Leo A. Daly Company in the amount of $479,919.59.
The default judgment included JCT’s “fair apportionment of LADCO’s settlement damages, litigation related costs, expert costs, attorney’s fees incurred for litigation, and prejudgment interest.”
No one appeared on behalf of the design consulting firm during the motion for default hearing on Thursday last week.
LADCO was represented by attorneys David Banes, and John Wendland.
A settlement was reached between LADCO and the CNMI government for a “global resolution of all claims made against LADCO and its sub-consultants by the CNMI” in the amount of $2 million.
LADCO sued JCT.
As part of the settlement, “LADCO retained all rights against its sub-consultants … that the CNMI had or may have against LADCO’s sub-consultants including the civil engineering deficiencies identified by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers” in its Aug. 2005.
In 2009, the CNMI sued LADCO for the negligent and deficient design of the dialysis center.
