Ye Malibu estate construction lawsuit

Overview

A legal dispute regarding the renovation of Ye’s Malibu estate has progressed from a contest over attorney fees to a court-ordered payment. Following a March jury verdict that awarded construction manager Tony Saxon $140,000 in damages for injuries and misclassification issues, Ye’s legal team petitioned to reject a $1.23 million request for attorney fees, arguing the amount was “unreasonably inflated.”

In October, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge ordered Ye to pay an additional $181,433 in legal fees and costs. This brings the total amount owed to Saxon to over $320,000, though this remains below the $1.7 million in compensatory damages originally sought by the plaintiff.
