The case went to trial in Summit County on September 21 and was submitted to the jury on October 1. On Friday, October 2, plaintiffs dismissed their claims with prejudice, with no payment from Vail Resorts. In addition, plaintiffs consented to an order to bar any future commercial use of the passes, and agreed not to appeal. In exchange, Vail agreed to waive its costs.
HRO attorneys Michael Hofmann and Bobbee Musgrave tried the case, with support from paralegal Marvene Muniz. Jurors commented that HRO attorneys' closing argument swayed them in favor of the defendant.
Ms. Musgrave is Co-Chair of HRO's Antitrust and Competition Group and a partner in the Litigation Practice Group. Commenting on the trial outcome, Ms Musgrave noted:
"The tone we set was friendly, low-key and reasoned. We won this case with a straightforward, professional approach. We emphasized that what was in the original 1969 contract still holds true today."
Mr. Hofmann, her colleague, and a partner in the firm's complex and commercial litigation practice group, stated: "We are pleased that we could deliver such a fine outcome for one of our valued clients, Vail Resorts."
