The jury awarded the individual plaintiffs economic, noneconomic, and punitive damages in varying amounts. The total amounts awarded were $ 1,289,000 in compensatory damages ($ 759,000 in economic damages and $ 530,000 in noneconomic damages) and $ 57 million in punitive damages. After the jury was discharged, the court issued an order on plaintiffs' cause of action alleging defendants violated Business and Professions Code section 17200 et seq., commonly referred to as the unfair competition law (UCL). The court ruled that a "catch-up" provision in defendants' long-term leases that can greatly increase rent at the end of a lease term was unfair in violation of the UCL.
