Jury Verdict from Fluor Daniel Caribbean, Inc., the General Contractor for the Project |
.
NEW YORK, June 24, 2005 - King & Spalding LLP successfully represented
Humphreys (Cayman) Limited, developer of The Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman,
in a breach of contract action against Fluor Daniel Caribbean, Inc., and
Fluor Enterprises, Inc., in a three-week jury trial in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York. Humphreys was awarded
$28.8 million, plus interest, legal fees and costs.
The jury found in favor of Humphreys after three days of deliberations at the conclusion of a three-week trial in Manhattan. Fluor Daniel Caribbean, Inc., the general contractor for the project, had sought nearly $30 million in damages. The difference between the damages requested by Fluor Daniel and the jury award to Humphreys represents a swing of nearly $60 million. The 144-acre Ritz-Carlton Grand Cayman beach resort is scheduled for
opening in November 2005.
