California Court of Appeal


Darbun Enterprises, Inc. v. San Fernando Comm. Hosp., B233078

In a suit against a hospital for breach of a lease agreement, seeking damages and specific performance, the trial court's judgment is reversed where, in cases involving mixed issues of equity and law, a trial court may not act as a factfinder on issues it specifically reserves for jury determination, and in granting JNOV, the court improperly transformed its equitable finding of unenforceability as to specific performance into a finding of unenforceability as to the legal issue of damages.
