Fireworks erupted in both of Ahwatukee ‘s golf course court cases but those involving Ahwatukee Lakes flamed out almost as aburptly as they began.
Last week, Lakes course owner ALCR filed a surprise plea to the Arizona Court of Appeals, asking it to find Superior Court Judge Sara Agne “abused her discretion” and overturn her contempt of court ruling so it would not have to pay nearly $25,000 in fees to attorney Tim Barnes, who is representing the two homeowners suing for the course’s restoration.
In the other case, Club West course owner The Edge and Shea Homes filed a strongly-worded reply to the Club West Conservancy’s request that Judge Margaret Mahoney dismiss their challenge to its petition that she rule they can never built homes on the course.
