IT IS ORDERED denying plaintiff’s motion for partial summary judgment on liability.
There are numerous questions of fact regarding whether the Association defendant timely
performed its duties under the CC&R’s.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED granting defendant’s motion for summary judgment on
plaintiff’s non-contract claims as they are barred by the applicable statutes of limitations. No
reasonable jury could find other than that plaintiff’s loss or injury occurred on October 17, 2005
when the defendant Association declared that there would be no repairs to the defective
balconies until the litigation between the Association and the developer was concluded. If the
defendant Association breached its obligation under the CC&R’s or otherwise failed to satisfy its
duty to plaintiff with respect to the defective balcony, such breach or failure first occurred then.

CONDOMINIUM ASSOCIATION INC, et al.
MARK A HOLMGREN
UNDER ADVISEMENT RULING
The Court having conducted an Evidentiary Hearing on Plaintiff’s Application for
Preliminary Injunction; having considered the memoranda of the parties and legal authorities
cited therein; having reviewed the evidence presented at said Hearing; and good cause appearing,
the Court enters the following findings of fact, conclusions of law and orders:
FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS OF LAW
1.
On or about March 1, 1998, Plaintiff, Dominick Abatemarco (“Abatemarco”)
purchased condominium unit number 226 at the Canterra at Squaw Peak
Condominium Complex (the “complex”), located 1747 E. Northern Avenue,
Phoenix, Arizona. Abatemarco is a full time resident at the complex, and is
current in the payment of his homeowner’s association dues.
2.
Many of the units within the complex and common areas have construction
defects including defective and dangerous balconies. The homeowners
association (“association”) has filed a construction defects lawsuit against the
SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY
CV 2007-053132
04/09/2008
Docket Code 019
Form V000A
Page 2
builder of the complex, which has apparently resulted in a likely settlement which
will be inadequate to cover needed association repairs.
3.
Abatemarco’s balcony is currently in need of substantial repair, as are the
balconies of many other homeowners within the complex.
4.
A.R.S. §33-1255(C)(1) provides that unless the declaration of a homeowners
association provides otherwise, common expenses associated with the
maintenance, repair or replacement of limited common elements are to be equally
assessed against only the units to which the limited common element is assigned.
In the immediate case, Abatemarco’s balcony, and other similarly situated
balconies within the complex are limited common elements.
5.
In the case at bar, Section 4.2 of the declarations of the association specifically
provides that the maintenance, repair and replacement of limited common
elements is the responsibility of the association and pursuant to Section 6.7, the
association is required to equally assess all unit owners for the costs of any
needed repair.
6.
Defendant’s closing argument suggesting that the Complaint in this matter was
not verified until two weeks prior to the Hearing and accordingly, should not be
considered, is without merit. The Complaint has been belatedly verified.
7.
While the association is clearly responsible for the repair and/or needed
replacement of Abatemarco’s balcony, this Court is without authority to compel
the association to do so by imposing the necessary assessment to facilitate such
remediation, by way of preliminary or permanent injunction. The reason for this
is that the Plaintiff has an adequate remedy at law. Doing so would also violate
the spirit, if not the letter of the declarations of the association by giving priority
to the repair of Plaintiff’s balcony and not doing so for the benefit of all similarly
situated homeowners.
8.
If Abatemarco wishes to proceed in having the balcony repaired, he may do so at
his own expense, and amend the immediate Complaint, if necessary, to seek
money damages against the association as reimbursement to him for the repairs
which the association is obligated to make pursuant to Arizona law.

LATER:
The court has considered each party’s application for attorneys’ fees and costs.
The court must determine which party was successful in the litigation and then determine
a reasonable amount of fees and costs to be awarded. The purpose of the fees statute, A.R.S. §
12-341.01(A) is remedial and the successful prosecution or defense of a claim are both entitled to
consideration and weight in the exercise of the court’s discretion. Schwartz v. Farmers Ins. Co.
of AZ, 166 Ariz. 33 (App. 1990).
At trial the jury returned verdicts in favor of plaintiff totaling $90,000 on his claims for
breach of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing. The jury found for
defendant on plaintiff’s claim for breach of the statutory duty to repair. All of the plaintiff’s tort
claims and his claim for punitive damages were dismissed by the court before trial. The trial
ended two years and four months (not three years as asserted by plaintiff) after the complaint was
filed. A considerable amount of litigation involved plaintiff’s application for injunctive relief to
require defendant to repair his and all the other balconies. Plaintiff obtained injunctive relief and
defendant has repaired the defective balconies as a result of plaintiff’s efforts, at least in large
part. By any reasonable measure of success, plaintiff has been successful in this significant
aspect of the case. The damages aspect of the litigation is problematical, however.
In his twice amended complaint, plaintiff alleged numerous tort causes of action and a
punitive damages claim in addition to the contractual-based claims for relief. All of the tort
claims and the claim for punitive damages were dismissed before trial. On these claims,
defendant clearly is the successful party. Because of this, defendant contends it is the successful
party in this case and it should be awarded its attorneys’ fees and costs. Defendant contends that
under either the percentage of success factor or totality of the litigation test it is the victor. Id. at
38. On a purely mathematical basis, defendant is correct that more claims were dismissed than
went to trial and so on a percentage basis, defendant prevailed. But considering the totality of
the circumstances, including the injunctive relief awarded to him, plaintiff prevailed in the case.
Plaintiff successfully sued to recover damages caused by the faulty construction which defendant
resisted repairing despite its duty under the CC&R’s. Plaintiff also sued to compel defendant to
undertake the repairs and he was successful in that claim, as well. On balance, considering the
claims won and lost by plaintiff, the court finds him to be the successful party and finds him
entitled to attorneys’ fees and costs. Moreover, the CC&R’s provide for an award of reasonable
attorneys’ fees and costs to a party who prevails in an action to enforce any of its provisions.
The jury verdict that defendant breached the CC&R’s is conclusive on this point.
Only reasonable attorneys’ fees are to be awarded to the successful party. Plaintiff’s
request for $523,825.50 in attorneys’ fees for services rendered by the Rose Law Group, P.C., is
SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA
MARICOPA COUNTY
CV 2007-053132
06/04/2010
Docket Code 049
Form V000A
Page 3
unreasonable. The additional request for $67,650.00 from Snell & Wilmer, LLP is similarly
unreasonable and the total of the two fee applications, $591,475.50, is patently unreasonable.
This case was over-litigated even when the court considers the intractable positions the
parties took throughout its course. The record is replete with repetitive motions to dismiss,
motions for summary judgment, motions to strike, motions to exclude, motions to file sur-replies
and emergency motions that were anything but emergencies. Furthermore, plaintiff’s time
entries contain scores of hours devoted to the constant review and revision of drafts of pleadings
that are well beyond the norm for a case with this lack of complexity.
Of particular concern is the application for attorneys’ fees from the Snell & Wilmer firm.
The work represented by this application is duplicative of the inflated charges in the Rose Law
Group’s application. Further, the application reflects no effort to assign any of the work to a
lower rate partner or associate to mitigate the cost of representation.
Based on its presiding over this action through trial, the court finds the plaintiff’s fee
applications excessive and unreasonable. The court finds that an appropriate award for
reasonable attorneys’ fees is $250,000.00 and costs of $60,818.24 all in accordance with the
formal written Judgment signed by the Court on June 4, 2010 and filed (entered) by the Clerk on
June 4, 2010. This case exemplifies the profligacy that results when one is spending someone
else’s money.

TRIAL VACATED
The court has determined that its current trial calendar contains numerous trial settings
that are in conflict with other trial settings or are no longer needed. The historical method of
setting trials on this calendar renders illusory the court’s ability to ensure that a trial will start on
the date set.
This division has decided to manage the trial calendar in accordance with the practices of
the overwhelming majority of civil divisions of the court. That practice dictates that no more
than one trial be set on any day, thus providing attorneys and litigants with certainty that the trial,
once set, will not be continued due to congestion of the court calendar.
Accordingly, for all trials set September 1, 2008 and after,
IT IS ORDERED vacating the trial date, and any associated final pretrial conference
setting and oral argument on motions in limine.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties shall submit a Joint Pretrial Memorandum
as set forth below.

The Court will review the Joint Pretrial Memorandum and proposed Scheduling Order
prescribed herein. The Court may adopt or modify the discovery and disclosure schedule order
and set a scheduling conference for purposes of setting a trial date. If counsel still believe that a
pretrial conference is still necessary at this stage of the litigation, they should address the reasons
for the need for a pretrial conference in the first paragraph of the Joint Pretrial Memorandum.
If the parties fail to file a timely memorandum, sanctions may issue pursuant to Rule
16(f).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED:
All counsel are directed to meet personally to discuss all of the matters set forth in Rule
16(b). Counsel shall prepare and file with the Court by 5:00 p.m. on August 1, 2008, a Joint
Pretrial Memorandum, and prepare a proposed order for Discovery and Disclosure deadlines.
The proposed order shall include dates for the following items and conform substantially with
the attached sample order.
1.
An agreed upon schedule and date for completion of non-expert depositions.
As far as can reasonably be anticipated, each party shall set forth the depositions
they anticipate taking and the approximate time required for each; any and all
medical examinations which may be required of any of the parties; the person or
persons to conduct such examinations; all requests for production; and all tangible
evidence to be disclosed or exchanged.
2.
A date for the final disclosure of the identities subject matters and reports of
expert witnesses, and/or to supplement disclosures made to date.
3.
A date or dates for the initial and final disclosure of all non-expert witnesses,
and/or to supplement disclosures made to date.
4.
A date by which all written discovery will be propounded and concluded.
Further, counsel shall set forth any written discovery outstanding and a date when it
will be complete.
5.
The position of each counsel on whether the Rule 38.1 time limits should be
waived.

6.
A proposed date for a Mandatory Settlement Conference pursuant to Rule
16.1. Alternatively, the parties may propose a deadline by which they will
participate in private mediation.
7.
A date for completion of all discovery, including expert discovery.
8.
A date by which all dispositive or partially-dispositive motions shall be filed.
9.
A proposed trial date agreed upon by all counsel and anticipated length of trial.
If the parties agree as to the dates, they need to only prepare and submit the proposed
order attached hereto. If counsel are unable to agree on any of the items set forth in the attached
form of order, the reasons for their inability to agree shall be set forth in the Pretrial
Memorandum and each shall prepare a separate proposed order. All proposed deadlines shall
be set forth as calendar dates, and not in the form “XX days before trial.”
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that counsel shall notify the Court of any agreed-upon
extension of any time period provided by the Rules of Civil Procedure. The purpose of this order
is not to discourage extensions as a matter of professionalism, but to ensure that no party suffers
summary disposition of any issue by virtue of an extension of which the Court is not aware.

RULING AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
The Court having reviewed Plaintiff’s Motion for Reconsideration/Clarification and the
Response and Reply filed incident thereto; and good cause appearing,
IT IS ORDERED granting said Motion in part, this Court finding that Plaintiff does not
have an adequate remedy at law. Notwithstanding this finding, this Court cannot give Plaintiff
priority over other similarly situated homeowners who have defectively dangerous balconies. To
do so would itself violate the Association’s CC&R’s. Now therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that the Canterra at Squaw Peak Condominium Association is
mandatorily enjoined and compelled to promulgate and approve a remediation plan and funding
mechanism to repair all balconies within the Association pursuant to Sections 3.5 and 4.2 of the
CC& R's to be filed with the Court on or before September 12, 2008. Plaintiff shall have until
September 26, 2008, to file any objections to the proposed plan.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all such repairs shall be completed on or before

10:51 a.m. Hearing concludes.
LATER:
IT IS ORDERED denying Defendant’s motion to exclude undisclosed evidence.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED granting Defendant’s motion to dismiss counts three
through six, nine and ten of the second amended complaint. The court finds the economic loss
rule applicable in this case since Plaintiff has full relief available on his contract theories and he
has suffered no personal injury or property damage separate from the subject of the alleged
breach of contract.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED denying Defendant’s motion for summary judgment except
as to count seven, punitive damages, which is dismissed. The facts in favor of punitive damages
clearly fall below the threshold necessary to sustain those damages especially in light of the
enhanced level of proof required.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED denying Plaintiff’s request for additional visual or
destructive testing on property not owned by Plaintiff.
