UPDATE (April 12, 2011): 
On December 16, 2010, the Court entered Judgment in this case in favor of Plaintiffs in the amount of $538,963.98.  This is three times the jury verdict, and reflects the provision in Measure EE which requires that a tenant recover treble damages for all harms caused by a landlord’s knowing or reckless violation of the Ordinance.  The jury specifically found that the defendant had wrongfully endeavored to recover each Plaintiff’s unit, and that he did so “in knowing violation of Ordinance.”

On February 18, 2011, the Court awarded to Plaintiffs an additional $1,052,402.00 for attorneys fees in connection with the case, under provisions in Measure EE which provide for attorney fees to prevailing litigants.  Additional motions requesting fees and costs are still pending, and Plaintiffs expect to recover about an additional $70,000 pursuant to those motions.
