Zhang v. Cheung CA2/7
Landlord David Cheung appeals a judgment after a jury trial about a commercial leasing transaction. The jury awarded a split decision. Cheung lost almost twice what he won: he won $16,200 in damages for breach of the lease by tenant Guang Tong, but Tong won $30,078.85 in damages against Cheung for intentional misrepresentation and negligence. Cheung appeals this loss, as well as an attorney fee award against him. Tong does not appeal. We affirm.
Tong died on December 24, 2017 while this appeal was pending. We substituted Li Hong Zhang, Tong’s successor in interest, in his place. The text of this opinion refers to “Tong” rather than “Zhang,” however, because Tong was the actor before and during trial.
