The Wood Family, represented by Dale Zeitlin, will receive $1.2 million in settlement of its claims for unjust enrichment against the City of Goodyear.  The lawsuit arose out of the Wood Family’s agreements to construct infrastructure improvements for a baseball park and spring training fields for the Cleveland Indians and Cincinnati Reds.  The Wood Family filed suit to recover for the value of benefits the City received that it allegedly did not pay for.  Zeitlin filed the lawsuit in an attempt to recover for the Wood Family, which through a series of events, found itself obligated for the construction of tens of millions of dollars of improvements without compensation by the City.
