On February 5, 2019, global real estate investment company Kennedy Wilson Properties Ltd. won summary judgment on a series of breach of contract claims brought by Chicago real estate developer Berger Realty. Berger had sought damages in excess of $3.5 million for a series of supposed breaches of a property management agreement and an alleged breach of fiduciary duty. Several claims were eliminated on a motion to dismiss and all but one minor issue were decided by the court in favor of Kennedy Wilson just weeks before a scheduled jury trial.
