A little more than a year after suing SeaWorld for $12 million in back rent and fees dating back to the pandemic, the city seems no closer to recouping its money despite multiple efforts to settle the litigation.
In a legal brief filed last week seeking more time to meet a number of pre-trial deadlines, the San Diego City Attorney’s Office indicated that efforts to settle the case have so far not been successful. On top of that, lawyers for the city said that it has had trouble getting adequate responses from SeaWorld for documents it had requested as part of the discovery process.
