(California Court of Appeal) - In a dispute among several outdoor advertising companies and the City of Los Angeles over certain billboards with digital displays,the trial court's denial of plaintiff's motion to demolish the signs at issue and denial of attorney fees, are affirmed where: 1) plaintiff has not proven that the maintenance of digital displays that cannot be used, and the continued existence of the reinforced structures,provides any tangible benefit to genuine parties; and 2) the record supports the trial court's conclusion that plaintiff had a personal financial stake in this litigation that was sufficient to warrant its decision to incur significant attorney fees and costs in the vigorous prosecution of this lawsuit.
