Yesterday, the Sixth District Court of Appeals ruled 3-0 in favor of Wells Fargo in an appeal filed by Peter Pau regarding the Town Center receivership. Pau had claimed that the bank’s actions to appoint a receiver and perform a receiver sale were not proper. When the trial judge ruled against Pau, he appealed, and his appeal has now been tossed out.
This is only a minor victory towards the legal resolution of the Town Center, and it hopefully ends one of the independent legal threads that Pau has spun off in his efforts to block progress (although this ruling can also be appealed to the State Supreme Court). Two other appeals continue. [Note that I previously said that oral arguments on the main one were recently heard – the oral arguments in question actually involved this appeal. I apologize for the error – Jim]
This is definitely a “two steps forward, one step back” situation, unfortunately.

meh – I’ve already lost interest.
Can’t wait to have the town center working like a real town center. I just hope there will not be more big stores and there will be room for smaller businesses.
I don’t think there are plans for another Macy’s or Target. Those two are the anchors, and the rest will be smaller ones.
I won’t believe it until I see it.
With smaller stores perhaps we can get some spaces for bike parking in the garages….
Or at least a few more racks outside for use.

Is there any basis for the city to sue pau for damages? As a way to get him to drop his bs maneuvers. Probably you can’t even discuss this.
No, there’s no basis. The damage Pau has done to us has all come from filing lawsuits. And filing lawsuits is a protected action, at least when he’s not filing them against you.
