Legal team representing Jason Hughes accuses city of withholding records, seeks sanctions of at least $10,000
Lawyers for real estate broker Jason Hughes, who is being sued for fraud by the city of San Diego, are accusing city officials of refusing to turn over internal emails -- and they want a judge to order the release of the records.
“Whether the city’s unwillingness to produce these documents is deliberate or the result of its failure to preserve evidence relevant to the litigation, the end result is the same: it has withheld documents that are critical to this case and potentially fatal to the city’s claims,” the motion states.
“This requires the city to essentially redo its original productions, including privilege review, which is ongoing,” spokeswoman Leslie Wolf Branscomb said in a statement. The Ash Street property has been unsafe to occupy due to asbestos and other issues for all but a few weeks since the lease was approved in 2016.
