The owner of the Club West Golf Course last week asked a judge to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the Club West Conservancy against it and Shea Homes, saying it has no legal standing to “interfere with private agreements” related to its use and that it “fails to allege an actual” controversy anyway.
The request filed by the Edge, comprising four men who bought the 162-acre site from Wilson Gee for $750,000 in 2019, is in response to a lawsuit the Conservancy filed in November against it and Shea Homes.
Shea Homes has not filed a response, although typically defendants have 20 days to respond to a lawsuit in Superior Court. Two extensions for a response have been granted but the latest listed in the court docket has expired in January.
